Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One — Total goals: Over 2.5 goals — 2.2
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two — 1&2nd half results: Draw/Spain to win — 4.04
Two of Morocco’s last three matches ended with under 2.5 goals goal but in Spain’s last three games, two ended with over 2.5 goals. Spain are the favourites to win but we expect Morocco to get on the scoreboard, hence there’s a chance the game could end with at least three goals.
Two of Morocco’s last three games ended in draws in the first half. Spain may have won only once out of their last three matches, but the Spanish side are likely to win the second half if Morocco manages to hold them to a draw in the first half.
The African side finished as the winners of Group F above Croatia and Belgium but they end into the game as the underdogs against Spain, who finished 2nd behind Japan.
Morocco won their last two games against Belgium and Canada but their chances of knocking Spain out of the competition are slim, given the quality in the Spanish team.
Spain:
finished as the runners-up behind Japan in Group E. It was a rollercoaster ride for the Spanish side, having dropped from the 1st spot following a controversial defeat to Japan.
Spain won one of their three World Cup group-stage games, but struggled against Japan and Germany.
Morocco scored two goals in each of their last two games against Belgium and Canada. We expect them to score at least one goal against Spain, even though the odds are not in their favour to go through to the quarter-final.
Back Spain to win or draw. Morocco could force the game to end in a draw after the regular time, of course they have quality players in their team.
