The second date of group “B” is coming and in this opportunity we will talk about the Portugal vs Morocco forecast. The clear favorite to win the game is the Lusitanian team, since it has better players in attack and a more than defined game system. For this reason and even when the Moroccans are ordered and competitive between the lines, we believe that the boys of Fernando Santos have what it takes to score a goal in the first 45 ‘minutes of play. Remember that this may fall for any individual or collective play, it is very feasible that Cristiano Ronaldo is an important participant (writing down or generating it to be very well located in the area).
Portugal:
The Lusitanians arrive motivated to this duel after equaling 3-3 against Spain, managing to scratch a point on the end with the goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. If we refer to CR7, we tell you that he arrives on fire to this duel by scoring 3 goals in total. Of course, the team can not depend entirely on him, having to appear more Bernardo Silva and Goncalo Guedes. In the second half Quaresma and André Silva entered, which contributed just when the “Red” won 2-3 partially. For this duel, it is expected that the Lusitanians attack from the initial whistle, taking possession of the total possession.
Continuing with the analysis, you should know that the coach Fernando Santos has been able to diagram a well structured on the tactical and technical. The team knows what it plays, demonstrating it by beating Spain twice. Of course, his defensive work left much to be desired by receiving 3 goals on his fence. Of course, one thing is to face the Iberian offensive bloc and another thing is to withstand the pressure and the development of the Moroccans. It is not ruled out that Portugal defend near the midfield, trying to pressure their rival.
Morocco:
The Africans arrive beaten to this duel after losing 0-1 against Iran on the hour, being practically eliminated from the contest with this result. The team came out with everything against the Asians, getting to generate chances and corners in the first minutes of play. Unfortunately for his aspirations, his proposal was diluted in the following minutes, losing himself totally in the field during the second half. In the end, it was the tactic imposed by coach Carlos Queiroz, who declared that the goal of the Iranians was to mentally block their opponent.
For this match Morocco must risk and propose, being their goal not to receive an early goal and a convincing win. Of course, its main players have to appear more, since the level of Belhanda and Ziyech was really mediocre (poverty in the development and when loading the collective weight of the team). In this opportunity, Benatia will have to show its maximum level to stop Cristiano and company.
There are no recent clashes between both teams, either friendly or official. The last one was more than 30 years ago, when Morocco won 1-3 at the World Cup in Mexico 86. However, this data does not have any influence on the current situation in these countries.
PREDICTION: Portugal to win @ 1.68
