World Cup Prediction for France vs Morocco Quarterfinal

Both Teams to Score: Yes (-104)

This is a rematch of a 2-0 France win from the 2022 World Cup semis. In that tourney, both of these sides were fairly defensive-minded teams. They've been more attack-minded this summer, and that pushes me toward this bet.

The France side sounds simple enough. France are absolutely loaded in attack and have been blitzing teams in this tournament, scoring at least three times in four of their five matches. The one exception was last time out in a 1-0 victory versus a stingy Paraguay side, and even in that one, France put five shots on target and handled 76% of the possession.

As for Morocco, their attack has improved throughout the tourney, netting eight goals across their past three matches, including an impressive 3-0 win versus Canada in the Round of 16. This is a tough matchup as France have allowed only two goals all tournament, but Morocco hasn't been blanked in any of their last 17 matches across all competitions (including friendlies). I think they'll find a way to score on Thursday, although they are definitely the more challenging side of this bet.

What are three-way odds in soccer?

Unlike traditional moneyline betting in American sports, soccer uses three-way odds. You're betting on one of three outcomes: Home Team win, Away Team Win or a Draw. This is the fundamental difference from NFL or NBA lines. The draw exists because soccer matches can end in ties. Three-way odds account for this possibility.
