Bookmaker-Ratings expert Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match between Morocco and Spain.
Morocco secured the top spot in their group against Belgium, Canada, and Croatia.
They deserve all the plaudits, finishing ahead of the “Golden” Belgium team and Croatia, who are European football giants. And they play with positive intent in every match. This is a great achievement not only for Morocco but also for our continent.
As for Spain, I’m a bit confused by their performance. Despite having 83% ball possession, they were defeated by Japan 2-1. I’m extremely disappointed with their performance.
They should be grateful to Germany, who fought back against Costa Rica; otherwise, La Roja might be on his way home.
Spain kicked off this World Cup with a confident and huge win but struggled in the next two games. Luis Enrique should be worried.
Spain have great players, and they play quite well. However, their team is young.
What about Morocco? They play unbelievable football. They have only conceded one goal in this tournament. Two clean sheets in the last three games. Their confidence is very high. Hakim Ziyech is impressive, as is Amrabat in the center of midfield.
I think Morocco will win this game 1:0.
