Portugal vs Morocco | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Portugal got lucky against Spain, and it is very questionable what would they do if it weren’t for Cristiano Ronaldo. The best player in the world was beyond any doubts the key man in that meeting. The Navigators need to win against Morocco to keep on pursuing top two places in this group, and the knock-out stage. Morocco was solid against Iran, and they surely haven’t deserved to lose. But football is sometimes a cruel game, and the Moroccans learned that lesson last Friday.
Match Preview
If Morocco loses this one too, they are out of the World Cup. On the other side, we might say the same for Portugal, as they already are outside top two places. So, basically, it is a death or life clash at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow for both teams. Expect a tough game, without some attractive plays or actions which might amaze you. As we said, stakes are high, and conservative approach will be applied on both sides.
Portugal
A lot of luck was involved in Portugal’s draw against Spain. De Gea’s bad reaction made it possible for the Navigators to score once, and one more goal was from the penalty kick. This data tells us that they didn’t have some proper chances, and that should concern coach Santos. Individual quality of Ronaldo, might not be effective all the time, as this Friday. Spain dominated the pitch throughout the whole 90 minutes, which is humiliating for European champions. If they want to win against Morocco, their game needs to be on a much higher level. One other thing caught our attention after that game. It was the fifth one in the last six events, Portugal played, with over 2.5 goals.
Morocco
The way they opened the clash against Iran, most of the fans thought that Morocco is going to demolish their rivals. In the first 15 minutes of the game, they were pressuring the Iranians and firing from all weapons. But as the time went by, the tempo of their performance was decreasing. Many weak spots emerged on the surface, and the majority appeared in the back line when defending the counter attacks. In some cases, only the indecisiveness of the Iranian attackers saved them. Also, do have in mind, that Moroccan players had two major blows in this match. The first one is a late goal and the second is Nordin Amrabat’s injury, and they will need to battle with that.

Portugal vs Morocco Top Betting Tip: Portugal (2-0)
There were several sensations since this World Cup started, but in this case, we are not going to see one. Portugal is a much better team than Morocco, and with all due respect, they have better players on each position. Also, Ronaldo and the squad have an enormous experience when it comes to playing matches like this one. And in most cases, they come out as winners. We are awe that you think that many things in Morocco’s game are going to depend on the fact, is Amrabat going to play or not. But believe us, even if he is 100% ready, Portugal will win. Our prediction, Portugal – Morocco 2:0.
