World Cup Betting Preview: France Vs. Morocco + Mbappe Props
  • France is favored to advance with -390 odds.
  • There is a 2.5-goal total set for the match.
  • Kylian Mbappe has -106 odds to score a goal.

BOSTON – From Gillette Stadium outside of Boston, France and Morocco will square off in the World Cup quarterfinals, where the winner will take on the winner of Spain vs. in the semifinals.

As they sit, France is favored to advance on legal sports betting sites and favored all across the regulation time lines as well. Despite being a heavy-set favorite, these are the cheapest odds that France has had throughout the World Cup.

Note: Gamelines on World Cup betting sites only count towards the 90 minutes of regulation time and any extra stoppage time. They do not include the two 15-minute overtime periods or penalty shootouts.

France Vs. Morocco

  • To Advance: France (-390) vs. Morocco (+295)
  • Reg. Moneyline: France (-168) vs. Morocco (+500), Draw (+290)
  • Reg. Spread: France -1 (+102)
  • Reg. Total: 2.5

This is the sixth time that France and Morocco will meet all-time, and the second time meeting in the World Cup (2022). France edges them, winning three matches with two draws. In their 2022 World Cup meeting, France came away with a 2-0 win in the semifinals.

Everything points towards France pulling away here with a +.80 scoring margin over Morocco and a +2.4 average goal differential in general. Across each of their first five matches, France is blowing them out in the goal margin, 14-9. France has scored 3+ goals in all but one match. Morocco is also letting up a shaky 69% save percentage.

Between France’s gap on paper and overall strength in scoring, we lean on France to win and advance, cover -1, and over the 2.5 goal total.

Mbappe Scoring Streak

Kylian Mbappe is the unit holding France at the top with seven total goals, which is tied for the most of any player in the World Cup. He’s been nearly automatic with scores in four of five matches, including three braces and a solo goal.

Kylian Mbappe Goal Props

  • Anytime: -104
  • First Goal: +290
  • Score or Assist: -190
  • 2+ Goals: +425
  • Hat-trick: +1800

He’s taken 26 total shots throughout the World Cup, with 17 of them being on target. He’s worth some action across the board here, considering his volume.
