France vs Morocco Time In India
The European giants will face off against the African nation on Thursday, December 15, at 12:30 AM IST. To watch the live stream of this important match, you’ll have to tune into either JioCinema or Sports18.
France vs Morocco Lineup
Although the French national team has unbelievable squad depth, they’ll be going into this next match without any concerns for injury or suspensions. Their goalkeeper and captain, Hugo Lloris, is on superb form after his heroics against England. Superstar Kylian Mbappe is also on red-hot form, with Les Bleus winning their previous 10 matches in which he has started. Furthermore, even though Olivier Giroud is one of the older players on the team, he’s been absolutely crucial to France’s success. If he manages to score in this match, he’ll be the oldest player in the tournament’s history to score five goals. Overall, France has little to no worries when it comes to the main team. Their substitutes’ bench is also lined up with some exceptional players.
Regarding Morocco, the North African nation has a few worries. Their deserved victory against Portugal in the Quarter-Finals came at a price. Roman Saiss, the stalwart defender and captain, seems to have picked up a nasty knock in the match. This potentially puts him on the injury list. Additionally, Walid Cheddira, the Moroccan striker, is out of the match due to a second yellow in the previous match. Basically, Morocco has a challenge on its hands.

France vs Morocco Head To Head
To understand the France vs Morocco head-to-head statistics, it’s imperative that we learn a bit more about their history. These two nations have formal alliances that are on records as old as the 17th century. Moreover, France’s colonial control over Morocco ended by 1955. Nonetheless, France and Morocco remain close trade partners. In fact, Sofiane Boufal and Roman Saiss are two Moroccan players who were actually born in France.
Understandably, the strength of the Les Bleus teams has mostly been superior to that of the Moroccans. Moreover, Morocco has never won a major international match against the French. Previously, these countries met each other on the pitch five times. Their last meeting was in an Internation Friendly in 2007, with the result being a 2-2 draw. In the other matches, France won with relatively comfortable scores.
