World Cup 2022 is not going to stop and the teams of Spain and Morocco will face each other in the next match of the 1/8 stage. Anticipation is high for what promises to be a captivating match. Initially, one might view the Moroccan national team as the underdogs in the quest for the World Cup glory. Yet, advancing beyond the playoffs is undoubtedly not the limit of their potential. While the Spanish team is expected to outclass the Moroccans in terms of skill, the unpredictable nature of the tournament in Qatar adds an element of mystery to the outcome. As is typical, the specific challenges and surprises that Qatar has in store remain shrouded in secrecy, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of the match.
How was the group stage for the Spanish national team
At the World Cup 2022 matches group stage for the Spaniards did not always go smoothly. Who would have thought that Group E would be so close in terms of results. In the battle for the playoffs, the Yellow-Reds fought in the same way: the national teams of Germany, Japan and Costa Rica. Despite the fact that initially the Spaniards and Germans seemed to be the leaders, the natives of Japan and Costa Rica gave a worthy fight. And World Cup 2022 tournament table at the end of the group stage for the “red fury” looked like this:
| 1 | Japan | 6 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Spain | 4 |
| 3 | Germany | 4 |
| 4 | Costa Rica | 3 |
Forecast for the match Spain - Morocco: who will come out in 1/4?
If the first matches did not show how Moroccans are charged at this World Cup, then of course, everyone would consider the Spaniards the sole favorites. But since the results of the group stage matches showed what the Moroccan national team is capable of, then everything is not so clear.
Of the interesting outcomes, I would like to note the following:
-
both will score - yes: the match should be equal and the Moroccans should not “float” under the pressure of the “red fury”. Therefore, goals should definitely be in both directions.
-
total goals - 3B: this meeting should be scoring, so this outcome is quite likely.
| Both teams to score - Yes | 2.26 |
|---|---|
| Total Goals - 3B | 3.32 |
Main odds for the match Spain - Morocco
