Brazil vs. Morocco Predictions

• When: Sunday, June 14, 12:00 AM CET
• Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, USA

The biggest football party on Earth kicks off its Group C campaign with an absolute blockbuster in New Jersey. One of the top candidates for the title, Brazil faces a massive opening test against Morocco. The African side reached the semis at the last World Cup 4 years ago in Qatar and was above Selecao in the final standings.

Brazil vs. Morocco Preview

Brazil

Brazil enters the World Cup off a 2-1 friendly win over Egypt just a few days ago, in which young Endrick and Bruno Guimarães found the net. This was the third straight triumph for Ancelotti’s crew, though the rivals weren’t that tough apart from Croatia – Panama, and the above-mentioned Egypt.

Selecao’s attack is as lethal as ever, scoring two or more goals in three of their last 3 games. However, their backline has shown glimpses of vulnerability under pressure. Overall, that’s the most problematic part of the team.

Brazil has conceded at least one goal in each of its last 5 appearances, and its defense hasn’t looked good at all. Sure, the attack is there to cover up, but in certain situations, like against France, that wasn’t possible.

Morocco

Not counting the controversial AFCON final against Senegal, the Atlas Lions are unbeaten in their last 28 matches. Yes, you’ve read it right, for 28 games in a row.

The Moroccan team has excellent defense, keeping a clean sheet in 6 of the last 10 games. They are a very physical and tactical unit, in which each player knows their role perfectly. Protecting an own goal is the foundation of all of their tactics.

Morocco’s last game was against Norway, 1-1, where they displayed the game plan for the World Cup. It’s pretty simple – hard defense, transition attacks, and fast counters.

Brazil vs Morocco Head to Head

Brazil vs. Morocco Predictions

This will be a tough one for Brazil, because Morocco won’t open. Ancelotti, on the other hand, knows that the tournament is longer than before, and he, too, won’t be that aggressive about scoring and posting some flashy win. All these factors point to an inefficient event. Both teams will be careful and calm, so under 2.5 goals looks like the best bet here.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
