Didier Deschamps is expected to keep faith with the 4-2-3-1 system that has served France throughout the tournament. The only anticipated change sees Désiré Doué in line to start on the left wing, while Aurélien Tchouaméni—despite returning to training on Wednesday—is not expected to be included in the starting XI.
Mike Maignan should once again start in goal. In defense, Jules Koundé is expected to occupy the right-back position, with Lucas Digne on the opposite flank. Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba are set to continue their partnership in central defense.

In midfield, Manu Koné is likely to partner Adrien Rabiot, with Michael Olise expected to operate in the No. 10 role.
Further forward, Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué are tipped to start on the wings, while captain Kylian Mbappé is expected to lead the French attack.
France’s probable lineup against Morocco :
Goalkeeper: Mike Maignan
Defenders: Jules Koundé, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, Lucas Digne
Midfielders: Manu Koné, Adrien Rabiot, Michael Olise
Forwards: Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, Désiré Doué
