On December 9, the match of the 1/4 finals of the World Cup will take place, in which the national team of Morocco will play with the national team of Portugal. The forecast for this duel is given by the well-known commentator and blogger Alexey Andronov.The national team of Morocco is a surprise of the current tournament, having knocked out the Spanish national team in the 1/8 finals, breaking all the preliminary layouts in its grid.
In the upcoming match, the Moroccans will play with the geographical neighbors of the Spaniards. In the last match, they made heroic efforts to prevent the favorite from creating dangerous moments at their gates. Why don't they repeat this story?The head coach of the Portuguese national team, Fernando Santos, unexpectedly left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench at the previous stage.
In the current situation, the Swiss did not understand at all how to play and who to keep on the defensive, which resulted in the final score of 1:6. At big tournaments there is an unwritten rule that says that it is harmful to score a lot – there will be nothing left for the next match. It is very interesting how Santos will behave, and whether he will release Ronaldo in the starting lineup, taking into account the possible 120 minutes of the game, which are very likely in a duel with the Moroccans.Given such uncertainty, Alexey Andronov has determined two bets for this match, which on the one hand do not coincide, and on the other hand do not exclude each other.
The expert expects at least two goals from the Portuguese, but at the same time believes that the Moroccan national team will also be able to score. It is clear that the Moroccans are not going forward too actively, but life can force them to do it. He rated the confidence in passing each of the bets on a "7" on a 10-point scale.
