Morocco vs Spain Match Preview

Morocco faces Spain in the last 16 of the FIFA 2022 World Cup in this neighboring battle.

Morocco after a 2-1 win over Canada secured the top spot in the group with seven points in a group that was the best team conceding just one goal, beating Belgium 2-0, and holding Croatia to a 0-0 draw. The "Atlanta Lions" have in their squad many footballers that have played in the Spanish league, while they also have enough quality and a very good defensive function capable of making it hard for the Spaniards.

The Spaniards, on the other hand, in their most recent game lost 1-2 to Japan who came from behind, fielding a mixed starting line-up with rumors suggesting they'd prefer to finish second in order to avoid Brazil in the quarter-finals. With the exception of the seven goals they scored in the opener against Costa Rica they did not impress in this tournament playing a 1-1 draw vs Germany beeing ineficient at times.

In conclusion, I expect a close game in which both sides will place a lot of effort in order to qualify for the quarter-finals, but I think that Morocco will not back down easily as someone could expect I will stake 3 units on the 1X double chance at 2.47 odds where I see the value.
