France vs Morocco: Pre-Match Opta Facts
France and Morocco will face each other for the seventh time, with Les Bleus unbeaten across each of the previous six (W4 D2). Their only competitive meeting to date was the most recent one: a 2-0 win for France in the semi-final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Half of France’s FIFA World Cup defeats this century have been inflicted by African teams (3/6, excluding shootouts). Indeed, they have lost more times in seven games against African sides (3) in this period than they have against both European (2/15) and South American opponents (0/9) combined (2 defeats in 24 matches). France have won 11 of their last 12 competitive matches (D1), including the last seven in a row. They last won 8+ consecutive competitive games between September 2002 and June 2004 (a run of 14). There have been only two instances of an African team going unbeaten in their opening five games of a FIFA World Cup tournament, both of which have been by Morocco in the last two editions (5 in 2022 and 2026). Indeed, Morocco were beaten by France in their sixth match of the 2022 tournament. This will be Didier Deschamps’ 25th game as a manager at the FIFA World Cup, equalling the record total of Helmut Schön (25 between 1966 and 1978). Deschamps’ 19 victories in the competition – all in charge of France – are already the most by any manager. Kylian Mbappé has the most goals (7), goal involvements (9) and chances created (12) for France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while only Michael Olise (9) has made more defensive line-breaking passes than Mbappé (8). Since the start of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Brahim Díaz has been directly involved in more goals than any other Morocco player across all competitions (10 – 6 goals, 4 assists).Enjoy this?
