After an incredible opening leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final between Argentina and Croatia, the contest boils down to France and Morocco to fight it out on Wednesday in order to join Lionel Messi and co. in the planet’s ultimate game, in the final this coming Sunday.
France are the biggest international football phenomenon in the world. They take on possibly the biggest surprise package of the tournament in Morocco, who have made it to the semis by beating Spain and Portugal in back-to-back games.
Given below are some of the best parlay legs for you to choose from:
DraftKings World Cup Parlay Leg #1; France ML: (-185)
On paper, there isn’t a national team that can compete with this French side. The French team boasts outstanding squad depth and incredible quality in their starting 11.
Their defense and midfield took massive injury hits before the tournament started but the pieces have clearly fallen into place as they try to make it to yet another World Cup final.
The Moroccan side has truly done a remarkable job until now, reaching this stage of the competition, but sadly their fairytale run could be coming to an end tonight.
They do comprise of great quality across all areas of the pitch, but it is nowhere close enough to that of France. In the form that the French forward line is in at the moment, no defense in the world is competent enough to stop them.

DraftKings World Cup Parlay Leg #2; Total Goals: Over 2.5
Statistically, France have the best forward line in the competition thus far. An attacking lineup comprising of Kylian Mbappe who is the joint-top scorer in the tournament alongside Olivier Giroud with 4 goals and Antoine Griezmann who has arguably been the player of the tournament thus far, is a very scary sight to behold. A very scary sight that guarantees goals.
Morocco, on the other hand, have relied on their industry in midfield, with the likes of Sofyan Amrabat, Hakim Ziyech, and Sofian Boufal putting in the hard yards. All in all, this game should be filled with goal-mouth action, considering the amount of attacking quality on offer.
DraftKings World Cup Parlay Leg #3; Anytime Goalscorer: Kylian Mbappe
As good as Kylian Mbappe is, it’s hard to believe that if he wins his next two games, he could already be a two-time world-champion at the age of 23. As hard to believe as it might be, Mbappe is indeed a phenomenon.
Currently sitting at the top of the scoring charts alongside his PSG teammate Lionel Messi, Mbappe has had an outstanding World Cup. Playing alongside Giroud, Griezmann and Dembele is always a bonus, but to put up the sort of numbers that he has, is very frightening. If there’s anything inevitable about such clutch games, it’s Mbappe getting on the scoresheet.
