World Cup 2026: Best Bets, Odds and Best Combo | July 9 (Day 29)

The quarter-finals roll into Boston with one of the standout ties of the round: holders France against a Morocco side that simply refuses to lose. The Atlas Lions arrive on the back of a ruthless 3-0 dismissal of co-hosts Canada and now stretch their unbeaten run to 34 internationals, while France ground out a 1-0 win over Paraguay thanks to another Kylian Mbappe penalty. Two heavyweight sides, one knockout ticket to the semis, and every reason to expect a tense, tactical evening. Quarter-final ties like this are where BettingTop10's read on tactical matchups matters most.

The market makes France clear favourites at 1.63 with 1xBet, but the shape of this tie points away from a shootout. Morocco's organisation and France's cagey knockout football steer us toward the low-scoring markets, and that theme runs through today's lead pick, the safer extra tip and a 3.03 Best Combo. All odds below are from 1xBet. This tie is logged in our World Cup tips bulletin as the tournament reaches its business end, and the same tactical lens shapes our betting tips centre for the rounds still to come.
