Morocco vs. Spain Prediction

• Where: Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan, Qatar
• When: Tuesday, December 6, 6 pm local time

Morocco has made one of the biggest successes in its history, winning first place in the World Cup group stage while beating some of the top teams in the world while doing so. On the other side, Spain decided to take the less honorable, but easier path, losing to Japan in the last round and avoiding the part of the draw with Brazil in it.

Morocco vs. Spain Preview

Morocco

The African team played without goals in the opener against Croatia, but after that made one of the biggest surprises in the tournament, defeating the shaken Belgium, 2-0, and indicating their ambitions. In round three, Morocco was better than Canada, 2-1, but we need to remind everyone, that Canada rolled over the Moroccans in the second 45 minutes.

Some would say that the luck was with the Moroccans in this event, but their ability to defend properly also needs to be recognized. Upon getting the positive result they are tough as hell to break, due to fanatic dedication.

Overall, apart from Ziyech and Hakimi, this team doesn’t have any talent up front, and the entire creativity and playmaking are focused on these two guys. 

Spain

Many say that Spain deliberately lost to Japan to get to the other part of the draw, and that’s what we think as well. Spaniards are known for this stuff, and that’s something they perfected in the past. 

Though, we can’t say this doesn’t have common logic, because Luis Enrique’s unit wants to win the title here. Why not have an easier path to the finals? After beating Costa Rica 7-0 in the opener, Spain played 1-1 against Germany. 

If Alvaro Morata (who is in good shape) had a bit more focus and composure, that game would also conclude with a Spanish victory. They are very dominant in the midfield and defense, and through these two lines, Luis Enrique implements his philosophy.

Morocco vs. Spain Head-to-Head Games

Spain and Morocco were in the same group in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The game ended 2-2, with both teams having a lead at one point, but Iago Aspas’ goal in the injury time set the final result and eventually made the difference with Spain going to the next stage and Morocco finishing the tournament. 

Morocco vs. Spain Prediction

Morocco is good, playing well, but on the other side, Spain is a much better team, and in our humble opinion, they will restrain the rivals’ energy and suffocate them with possession and short passes in the midfield. Our suggestion here is to bet on the Spanish unit.

Our verdict: Spain wins
