France/Morocco – probable line-ups for the quarter-final | OneFootball

This Thursday, the France national team will play in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals against Morocco at 10pm at Gillette Stadium in Boston (broadcast on M6 and beIN SPORTS). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien and L’Equipe tried to predict the line-up that will be selected by France manager Didier Deschamps and his Moroccan counterpart Mohamed Ouahbi. A match involving 6 Paris Saint-Germain players. 5 on the French side: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. And 1 on the Moroccan side: Achraf Hakimi.

France (4-2-3-1):

Mbappé

Doué – Olise – Dembélé

Rabiot – Koné

Digne – Saliba- Upamecano – Koundé

Maignan.

Morocco (4-2-3-1) –

Rahimi

El Khannouss – Ounahi – Diaz

El Aynaoui – Bouaddi

Mazraoui – Halhal or Riad – Diop – Hakimi

Bounou

Both line-ups are entirely possible, although we will have to wait for confirmation. There are still some choices that seem settled for both teams in this World Cup. Changes remain possible, especially on the Bleus side with a particularly deep squad. In particular, there is still doubt on the left side of the attack between Barcola and Doué. Yesterday morning it was the former, now it is the latter who is being predicted.

A tactical surprise from France or Morocco also cannot be ruled out, even if it would be a real shock. It would more likely concern the exact setup, which is always a key point. On the Moroccan side, there is doubt surrounding the presence of Ismael Saibari, who went off injured during the win over Canada, as well as the return of Chadi Riad in defense. We will wait for the official team announcements, around 1 hour 30 minutes before kick-off, to be certain.
