Morocco Preview & Team Team

Morocco might have ridden their luck at times against Spain in the Round of 16 match, but they also created plenty of chances of their own to win the game in the opening 90 minutes and extra time. However, both teams failed to score during each of those periods, and the game had to be settled via a penalty shoot-out. Morocco scored three of their opening four penalties while Bounou proved the hero between the sticks for the African side, saving two of Spain’s three opening spot-kicks, with the other hitting the post. With a win over Spain under their belts, Morocco will feel as if they can defeat Portugal in the quarter-finals and become the first African side to reach the Semi-Finals. They have no pressure ahead of this game, knowing they are considered underdogs again.

Portugal Preview & Team News

Many were expecting the Portugal vs Switzerland Round of 16 tie to be a closely fought battle with few goals being produced. However, Portugal dominated the game from start to finish, embarrassing the Swiss, who simply didn’t seem to turn up on the night. Ramos was brought into the starting lineup ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the young Benfica forward proved to be the catalyst for Portugal scoring a hat trick on his team’s journey to a 6-1 victory. Captain and veteran center-back, Pepe, scored the game’s second goal, and full-back Guerreiro added a fourth in the 55th minute. Man City’s Akanji pulled a goal back for the Swiss from a corner, but Portugal scored twice more after that, including a stoppage-time effort from substitute Leao. Os Navegadores are full of confidence, and they seek another excellent display.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Portugal is a favorite in this encounter, but we don’t think they will have an easy job. Morocco is among the most disciplined teams in this tournament, and it will be a close battle. Nevertheless, Portugal can count on better freshness ahead of this game, and we believe they will secure a place in the semi-finals.

Goals Market Prediction

Morocco has conceded just once in the World Cup 2022, and interestingly, it was an own goal. Although Portugal counted to six against Switzerland, this will be a much tighter encounter. Therefore, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.
