The 2nd semifinal in the World Cup will be played on Wednesday night between France and Morocco. It's no surprise that France got this far as they have been one of the favorites all tournament long. In the first round, they managed to beat Poland and 6 days later they played against England. 2 times the French team got the lead, and thanks to Harry Kane's missed penalty France has a chance to get into 2nd World Cup final in a row. Morocco is a cinderella story as they shocked the entire world in the first round by beating Spain and it followed with a win against Portugal. In this game, I'm picking a double chance at Morocco.

France can become the 1st team since Brazil in 1962 who would defend the previous title with another. French boss Didier Deschamps admitted that his side "got luck" against England and he may need yet another slice of luck after France lost 3 of their last 6 World Cup games against African nations, including a 1-0 defeat to Tunisia in this tournament. Kylian Mbappe and Oliver Giroud have scored together 9 times in this World Cup and only 2 other French players have scored. At the same time, France is averaging just 1.43 xG per game in their last 4 games.

Morocco already made history by becoming the 1st African nation to ever play in the World Cup's semifinal. It's their defense that has helped to advance so far because no opponent has scored on them! The only time Morocco conceded was after their own player unsuccessfully changed the direction of the ball. This fact is more impressive because Morocco hasn't conceded in the last 9 international games while France has recorded just 1 clean sheet across their last 11 internationals.

Morocco's Achraf Hakimi has attempted the most tackles (19) of any player at the World Cup and has the second-most successful tackles (15). His full-back teammate Noussair Mazraoui has 13 tackles and eight successful, putting him 6th and 7th respectively. Morocco matches up very well against France. They are very hungry and motivated and the sky is the limit for them. It is well-known that this French team can get carried away and arrogant at times, and there is a risk that they could take this game a bit lightly and get surprised by a dangerous Morocco side. I'm confident that Morocco won't lose or do it by no more than 1 goal.

世界杯第二场半决赛将于周三晚上在法国和摩洛哥之间进行。法国队能走到这一步并不奇怪，因为他们一直是比赛中最受欢迎的球队之一。在第一轮比赛中，他们击败了波兰，6天后又对阵英格兰。法国队两次取得领先，由于哈里·凯恩罚丢了点球，法国队有机会连续第二次进入世界杯决赛。摩洛哥是一个灰姑娘的故事，他们在第一轮就击败了西班牙，震惊了全世界，随后又战胜了葡萄牙。在这场比赛中，我选择了摩洛哥的双重机会。

法国队将成为自1962年巴西夺冠以来，第一支以另一支球队卫冕冠军的球队。法国队主教练迪迪埃·德尚承认，他的球队在对阵英格兰的比赛中“很幸运”，而法国队在世界杯上最近6场对阵非洲国家的比赛中输掉了3场，其中包括在本届世界杯上0 - 1输给突尼斯，他可能还需要更多的运气。基利安·姆巴佩和奥利弗·吉鲁在本届世界杯上共进球9次，另外只有2名法国球员进球。与此同时，法国队在最近4场比赛中场均只有1.43 xG。

摩洛哥已经创造了历史，成为第一个进入世界杯半决赛的非洲国家。他们的防守帮助他们晋级到目前为止，因为没有对手在他们身上得分!摩洛哥唯一一次失球是在他们的球员改变球的方向失败之后。这一事实令人印象深刻，因为摩洛哥在过去9场国际比赛中没有失球，而法国在过去11场国际比赛中只有1场零封对手。

摩洛哥球员阿克拉夫·哈基米是本届世界杯上抢断次数最多的球员(19次)，抢断成功率排名第二(15次)。他的边后卫队友马兹拉维有13次抢断和8次成功抢断，分别排在第6和第7位。摩洛哥与法国队的比赛打得很好。他们非常渴望和积极，天空是他们的极限。众所周知，这支法国队有时会变得忘乎所以和傲慢，他们可能会把这场比赛看得有点轻，被危险的摩洛哥队吓一跳。我有信心摩洛哥不会输，也不会超过1球。
