Morocco vs. Portugal Predictions

In our Best World Cup Bets article, we took Morocco to force extra time with Spain in the Round of 16. It was a wild ride, but the Moroccans didn’t allow a goal, then managed to beat Spain on penalty kicks. Can they do it again while facing another European giant?

Portugal dismantled Switzerland 6-1 in the Round of 16. The Portuguese side seems to be getting better as the tournament goes on, and we believed they were an underrated side heading into the 2022 World Cup.

Morocco was able to withstand Spain’s aggressive style, but Portugal will be a tougher test. The Portuguese can beat you with so many players and angles, so it would be surprising if Morocco’s back line held on once again. Go ahead and take Portgual to win in regulation on the three-way moneyline.
