World Cup 2022: Odds and Predictions for Saturday Quarterfinal Matches

Portugal and Morocco are the first team to be announced for the World Cup semifinals. The winner of the match will play either France or England. Croatia and Argentina will face each other in Wednesday's semifinal.

Morocco and Portugal are both coming off their best performances in Qatar. Portugal scored six goals against South Korea without Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo may come off the bench to help Portugal win the game late and avoid penalties. Morocco's defense is strong but its attack is not. Morocco is unlikely to win a high-scoring game. The team's last three opponents had an expected goals total over one. Moroccan attack has had three games with an xG of 0.7 or below.

England and France are playing a World Cup knockout-round match in Qatar. France is the reigning World Champion and Kylian Mbappé is leading the Golden Boot race. England was a 2018 World cup semifinalist and UEFA Euro 2020 runner-up. France's defense has conceded exactly one goal in three of its four games at the World Cups. The game is expected to be close and go to extra time. It is possible that France will win. If so, it will advance to the semifinals. There is a betting service for gambling problems.
