Spain vs. Morocco Predictions

Spain wants to hold the ball and try to find opportunities to dissect the defense. Morocco is more than fine with that, as its strategy relies on absorbing pressure and then striking in the counter-attack. That angle paid off in Morocco’s two victories in the group stage, as it only had 33% against Belgium (won 2-0) and 41% against Canada (won 2-1).

Meanwhile, after Spain’s opening 7-0 victory against Costa Rica, cracks began to show. The problems came in defending the counter-attack, especially in a 2-1 loss against Japan despite holding 85% of the possession.

Morocco is clearly not intimidated to play a top side. Spain will give the Moroccans their biggest challenge of the tournament, but this should be a tight one throughout. Go ahead and take the draw for a healthy payout.
