For the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco will face Spain. A single match, in case of a draw, extra time will follow and if necessary, the procedure of penalties. The qualifying team will face the winner of the Portugal-Switzerland match.
Morocco was the pleasant surprise of the 6th group where it took the first place, taking an emphatic way to qualify for the 16 of the World Cup. In the premiere, they drew 0-0 against Croatia, in the second game they surprised by beating Belgium 2-0, while in the third and last game, with their victory over Canada 2-1, they secured the first place in the group.
This is the first time since the distant 1986 and the second time in the history of Morocco that it has reached the knockout matches of the World Cup and now with the psychology at the height he is looking for the transcendence tonight.
In a thriller group, Spain finished in 2nd place and qualified for the next phase of the competition, albeit with anxiety. They were the team that started the tournament in the most impressive way as they demolished Costa Rica 7-0 in the opener. In the second matchday, they drew 1-1 with Germany, while in the third matchday, they were defeated by Japan 2-1, which fueled the scenarios that they wanted to change the scoreboard with the defeat and avoid Brazil in the quarter-finals, if they qualify.
Even so, Spain continues to organize with the aim of going as far as possible and why not repeat the success of 2010 when he won the title.
He impressed Morocco in the group stage and not only qualified but also finished in first place. Spain, for its part, showed ups and downs in its performance but its quality is a given. I expect a great battle between two very talented teams that may take more than the normal duration to resolve their differences, offensively, however, they will hardly stay at zero.
Tip: Morocco - Spain 0-0 with an odds of 2.10
