Amadu Raheem Komba Gbandeh made the prediction ahead of Thursday night's last-eight tie at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, scheduled to kick off at 8 pm Ghana time.
His forecast quickly ignited debate among football fans following his Facebook post.
France went into the fixture as heavy favourites. Kylian Mbappe had scored his seventh goal of the tournament in the Round of 16, a winner against Paraguay that pushed his career World Cup tally to 19 goals.
The French side had won all five of their matches at this edition of the competition and had claimed 16 victories from their last 19 World Cup fixtures, suffering just one defeat in normal or extra time across that stretch.
Morocco's unbeaten run adds pressure
Morocco arrived at the quarter-final stage far from defenceless. The Atlas Lions had gone 34 matches without defeat, a run that included five unbeaten outings at the current tournament.
Their only World Cup losses in recent memory came at the 2022 edition in Qatar, where they fell 2-0 to France in the semi-finals and 2-1 to Croatia in the third-place play-off.
Significantly, this fixture represented the first time the two nations had faced each other at a World Cup since that 2022 semi-final, which France won through goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani.
Gbandeh's prediction for France vs Morocco
Despite France's commanding form, Gbandeh backed Morocco to advance.
Writing on Facebook, he stated:
"Morocco VS France! This match will be difficult as both teams have been excellent. I see a match going all the way into extra 30 minutes, a draw in extra time as well, and a penalty shootout where the best team on penalties will win. France will not make it to the next stage."
Gbandeh has built a growing following due to the accuracy of his forecasts on high-profile matches, making his verdict on this fixture one that many supporters were watching closely as the quarter-final approached.
Gbandeh was not the only one weighing in with an unusual prediction. Separately, a cat named Nimbus Pronos, known for its supposed ability to forecast football results, also shared its pick ahead of the same quarter-final, adding to the intrigue surrounding one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament.
