France and Morocco have deep historical ties, and so does football.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this World Cup semi-final is a "fight between the first and second French armies".

In this duel, the two sides also showed completely different styles. As Morocco, the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, they have relied on extremely strong defense all the way. The only goal they conceded was an own goal against Canada.

In the knockout round, they brought the power of their North African Aegis to the extreme. The top 16 drew 0:0 with Spain and won the PK battle.

The defending champion France, on the other hand, went all the way through the offensive and majestic. Except for the unexpected 0:1 loss to Tunisia in the third team training match of the group stage, they scored more than 2 goals in the other four matches, and the firepower output was stable; Facing England, which is also the favorite to win the championship, they can still rely on Aurelien Tchouameni's long shot and Olivier Giroud's head hammer to cross the mountain 2:1, plus ace striker Kylian Mbappe )'s rapid assault ability and multiple offensive methods make it difficult for opponents to completely guard against it.

Therefore, this battle can be said to be the strongest "spear and shield duel". France is definitely following the routine and storming the opponent's defense line, hoping to knock down the opponent within 90 minutes; , and then hope to rely on the best goalkeeper in La Liga, Yassine Bounou, to make a save.

It is estimated that France's diversified and powerful firepower will make it difficult for Morocco to keep its defense. In addition, the injury status of Morocco's main defender Romain Saiss is unknown. Conceded goals in all games, but considering the limited ability of the Atlas Lions to counterattack, it may be difficult to recover as long as they concede a goal, so it is estimated that France will win 2:0 or 1:0.
