OneFootball x FanDuel: The key questions on World Cup Day 2️⃣8️⃣ | OneFootball

The quarter-finals get underway with a repeat of one of the most memorable matches from the 2022 World Cup as France face Morocco.

Here are the big questions on Day 28.

What game is on today?

France v Morocco

The opening quarter-final pits one of the tournament favourites against the surprise package that continues to defy expectations.

France booked their place in the last eight with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Paraguay. Didier Deschamps' side were forced to be patient but once again showed their knack for winning knockout matches. With Kylian Mbappé leading a squad packed with world-class talent, Les Bleus remain firmly on course for another deep World Cup run.

Morocco continued their remarkable campaign by beating Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16. Walid Regragui's side have once again impressed with their defensive discipline, tactical organisation and clinical finishing, proving that their run to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals was no fluke.

These sides famously met in the semi-finals four years ago, when France edged a closely contested encounter. Morocco have shown throughout this tournament they are capable of frustrating elite opposition, but France's quality in the final third may ultimately prove the difference.

Our prediction: France 2-1 Morocco

Which player should I look out for?

Kylian Mbappé remains the man capable of deciding the biggest matches on football's grandest stage.

The France captain has once again been one of the tournament's standout performers, combining explosive pace with ruthless finishing and the ability to create chances from nothing. If Les Bleus are to reach another World Cup semi-final, expect Mbappé to play a central role.

Can you give me one stat to impress my friends?

Half of France's World Cup defeats this century have come against African opponents (three of six).
