Preview:
France head into this after a nervy 2-1 win over England in their Q/F match on Sunday.
Tchouameni gave Les Bleus the lead before Kane struck back for the Three Lions from 12 yards. But Giroud delivered the ultimate winner with his thumping header 12 minutes from time to ensure the defending champions continue their run.
Kane had the opportunity to get his side back on level terms but he missed from the penalty spot.
This kept France on the run as they look to become the 2nd side after Brazil to defend their WC title in successive editions.
On the other hand, Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 on Saturday to continue their unbelievable run in the WC.

Prediction: France 2-0 Morocco
Morocco have enjoyed a sensational run in the WC and wouldn’t have expected this at the start, but we see it coming to an end vs France.
The French side are well equipped and do not look like giving up on a chance to match Brazil as successive title winners.
France is head and shoulders above Morocco in terms of quality and talent. Despite the African side’s ability to frustrate teams, we can’t see them getting over the attacking menace of France.
Players to watch out for: Mbappé, Dembele, En-Nesyri and Amrabat.
