Analyst Picks 4 World Cup Quarterfinal Bets as Morocco Draws +320 to Advance

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jul 8

Four quarterfinal wagers lead the analyst’s card, with Morocco to advance at +320 against France flagged as the best value despite France remaining the tournament pick.
France’s narrow edge is tied to matchup dynamics: Paraguay’s low block recently limited Les Bleus to 0.7 non-penalty expected goals, and Morocco is viewed as stronger in transition than that Round-of-16 opponent.
Spain-Belgium is tipped for both teams to score at -115, even after Spain became the first team to post six straight World Cup clean sheets, because Belgium’s midfield quality and late attacking push could still create chances.
The other plays are Norway-England over 2.5 goals at -120—backed by Norway’s five straight matches with at least three goals—and Switzerland under 0.5 goals at +115 against Argentina, with Johan Manzambi’s fitness a key factor.
The analysis also stresses that most wagers apply only to regulation time, while separate 'to advance' markets include extra time and penalties.
