Lionel Messi lit up the World Cup last night with another inspirational display that guided Argentina to the final. It's over to PSG teammate, Kylian Mbappe to respond this evening as France aim to take another step closer to defending their World Cup crown.
Incredibly it's Morocco who are the semi-final opponents for the French. As big as 200/1 ante-post the Moroccans are now just 11/1 to pull off one of the biggest shocks in international football.
Back in 2004 it was Greece who stunned the world of football when they walked away with the European Championships at a massive 150/1 and like Morocco their success was built on a solid defence and narrow victories, so who's to say the Atlas Lions can't go all the way.
The north Africans have yet to concede despite facing the cream of Europe but tonight they must stifle the crème de la crème. We've yet to see how they'll respond to going a goal behind and it has to be part of Didier Deshamps plans to get his sides' noses in front, and preferably early.
A first-half French goal pays 4/5. They've found the net in the opening 45 in three of their five games so far including being quick out of the traps with a 17th minute strike against England.
Mbappe will be the man the French look to for inspiration and he'll be keen to steal a march on Messi in the top goalscorer race. Both are now tied on five goals and the 23-year-old is 5/4 to add to his tally in Al Khor tonight.
Morocco have done extremely well to get this deep in to the tournament but there's a certain inevitability about a France v Argentina, Mbappe v Messi final and this looks a step too far for French-born Walid Regragui's side.
A France win, coupled with two or more French goals appeals at 20/21.

Romain Saiss to be booked at 13/5.
Not even going to attempt to predict the outcome on this game,Morocco don’t concede goals and have just made a good Portugal team look ordinary,France are 8/15 which imo at this stage of a World Cup is pathetic.Could go either way.The value has to be with Morocco.
Harburger vs Nikola Tesla
Over 4.5mgs @ 43/40 (bet365)
Small stake on above.
Harburger been on the end of a few heavy defeats, most notably at the end of October in a 10-1 defeat to todays opponents. 4 out their last 5 games have had 5+mgs. Anything like the last game between these two would be ideal.
Good luck 🤞

Well done any winners
That ref is an absolute clown, needed 2 morocco cards for a 4/1 shot. Let them away with everything including a deliberate handball at the end. Raging
Did Mbabbe have a shot on target, I didn’t see one but appears to have on stats?
Mbappe even
Yep. Mbappe 1 SOT in first half.
