France v Morocco Head-To-Head Record

France and Morocco have faced off five times so far, which were all in international friendlies. They have never met in the World Cup and this will be their first meeting at the showpiece event. Les Bleus have dominated this fixture but Morocco have always remained competitive with another tight contest expected tomorrow.

France will be looking to become the first team to defend their World Cup crown in 60 years while Morocco look to become the first African side to reach the final or even win it. Either way, both sides are looking to create history.

Their Previous Match

The last time these two nations played against each other was in 2007 in an entertaining friendly match that ended 2-2.

Morocco drew first blood through Tarik Sektioui after just eight minutes before the French hit back with a goal from Sidney Govou. Samir Nasri then put Les Blues ahead in the 75th minute with a strike from outside of the box but Morocco dug deep and found an equaliser with just six minutes remaining through Youssef Mokhtari.
