The next game day of the World Cup playoff round will begin with a duel between the national teams of Portugal and Morocco. The start of the match is scheduled for December 10 at 18:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for you on the outcome of this confrontation.
Morocco
The Moroccan national team has recently become a frequent participant in the World Championships, and this time it has set a historic achievement for itself, having gone so far. At the group stage, they managed not to lose once and took first place in the group, ahead of the formidable Croatia and Belgium, and Spain was beaten on penalties in the first round of the playoffs. Morocco has a lot of technical players in its composition, but the main advantage of this team is a well-built team game.
Portugal
The real grandee in European football is the Portuguese national team, but it usually performs poorly at the World Championships. The composition of the team is filled with stars and is perhaps the most balanced in the tournament, but the atmosphere is far from all right, as can be seen after each match, the Portuguese do not have unity, which can affect the late stages of the playoffs. The Portuguese easily won their group, and in their last match with Ronaldo on the bench defeated Switzerland with a score of 6:1.
Statistics and figures
- In the last match between these teams, Portugal won 1-0.
- The national team of Morocco has a good series of eleven games without defeats.
- Portugal has lost only once in their last five meetings.
Forecast
The Portuguese national team looks like a small favorite in this confrontation. The team has a more eminent and experienced staff. The Moroccan national team has a lot of high-speed performers and likes to play counterattacks, therefore it is able to create problems for the Portuguese. I think we will have a bright and productive match.
