Morocco and Spain will come face to face in the match of the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup. We analyze the form of the teams and give a forecast.
Morocco
It seemed that in the group with Croatia and Belgium, Morocco had almost no chance of winning a ticket to the 1/8 finals, but in fact it turned out differently. Ziesh and company not only did not suffer a single defeat in three rounds, but also achieved two victories, and also drew once, and with seven points took the first line of the quartet F. In the first round, Morocco played 0-0 with Croatia, and then won 2-0 against Belgium and 2-1 against Canada.
Spain
After Spain's 7-0 victory over Costa Rica in the first round, there was no doubt that it would be able to get out of the group, but the next two matches showed that the "red fury" has weaknesses and is far from ideal. In the second round, she parted in peace with Germany (1-1), and in the third she remained without points at all, having been defeated by Japan with a result of 1-2. But the four points scored were enough to take second place and reach the 1/8 finals.
Statistics and figures:
- Morocco goes undefeated - a draw and two wins;
- Spain won in one round out of three;
- Morocco and Spain have met three times - two Spanish wins and a draw.
Forecast
The Moroccans will definitely give battle, but at the expense of higher performing skills, the Spaniards should take over.
