For Thursday’s France vs. Morocco parlay, I’m looking beyond Kylian Mbappe.
Morocco’s defense will be built around slowing him down, but that attention can open scoring lanes for France’s supporting attackers.
My favorite same-game parlay backs Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele to find the net at +1000.

Mbappe is the obvious France scorer target, but that’s also what makes this +1000 same-game parlay appealing. Morocco will have to shade coverage his way, and that can open the exact pockets France’s secondary attackers want to exploit.
The pressure point is Morocco’s right side. If France can repeatedly isolate Noussair Mazraoui, Ousmane Dembele has the profile to turn those touches into something more dangerous than harmless width. He can beat his man outside, cut inside, or attack the back post when Morocco collapses toward Mbappe.
Olise is the sharper second leg because France may need more than wing play to crack this block. His ability to drift centrally, combine between the lines, and arrive around the edge of the box gives Les Bleus a different route to goal.
At +1000, this is a bet on Mbappe’s gravity creating the goals, even if he’s not the one finishing them.
