Betting on Canada | 0 points – 4th Place
The CONCACAF team is already eliminated from the World Cup and is fighting for nothing more than pride and to make history. Before the match against Croatia they had not scored a goal in World Cups including the one played in Mexico 1986. During the first matchday of the group stage, they lost to Belgium, with a missed penalty from Alphonso Davies.
It was Davies himself who made history for his country by scoring the fastest goal of this World Cup (so far) against Croatia, and becoming the first Canadian player to score in a World Cup. Now, the goal would be to win their first game, but their play seems to be behind the current level of their group in question.
Defensively they have a hard time and are easily broken down. Croatia showed them off, after having played a great game against Belgium, they fell against the world runner-up with a score of 4-1. The Moroccans showed that they are quite a strong team, so Canada will have a difficult mission.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Milan Borjan, Alistair Johnston, Steven Vitoria, Kamal Miller, Richie Laryea, Atiba Hutchinson, Stephen Eustaquio, Alphonso Davies, Tajon Buchanan, Junior Hoilett, Jonathan David
Betting on Morocco | 4 points – 2nd Place
The opposite is the case of the African team, which is playing good soccer and needs a victory against the Maple Leafs to qualify directly to the round of 16,leaving out Belgium or Croatia, depending on the outcome of the respective duel between the two teams.
This does not mean that they will relax, only that they have a margin for error. Coach Walid Regragui may not rest his stars because they need the three points, and it would also help them get into rhythm for the next phase if they win.
Hakim Ziyech is in “Ajax” mode, playing like he did when he was with the Dutch side, and that’s good news for the team, as he is pulling the strings offensively. To that we also add the performance of Achraf Hakimi, the PSG full-back, who attacks and defends relentlessly, being impassable. Morocco has a generation capable of making history.
With the 2-0 result against Belgium last week, there is no doubt that the African team is here to stay.
Possible lineup (4-3-3) : Munir Mohamedi, Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, Romain Saiss, Noussair Mazraoui, Sofyan Amrabat, Azzedine Ouhahi, Selim Amallah, Hakim Ziyech, Youssef En-Nesyri, Sofiane Boufal
JefeBet Prediction
Canada will struggle, but Morocco will not relax and will end up beating the North Americans, who left a good feeling in their first game and at least scored their first goal in World Cups. Their captain, Atiba Hutchinson, was able to fulfill his dream of playing in a World Cup, and they will always carry that with them.
Morocco will qualify and enter the Round of 16 as one of the potential dark horses of the competition. The plan is to avoid Spain, but they depend on what happens between Belgium and Croatia, but that is a matter for calculators and factors out of their hands, what they can control is the match against Canada which, as we say, they will win.
Prediction: Canada 1-3 Morocco
