In order to arrive in optimal condition to its debut at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, on Thursday the African national team of Morocco is expecting a tough friendly against the Ukrainian national team, which will be played at the Stade de Geneve in Carouge. .
Morocco:
In the meantime, those led by Frenchman Herve Renard are at an excellent moment, so Morocco have won their last two friendlies against Uzbekistan 2-0 and Serbia 2-1 and with that they not only scored a streak of five consecutive victories including the 4-0 win over Nigeria in the final of the African Nations Championship, but also an undefeated fifteen games, which allow generate a lot of confidence in the African team that is very willing to play a good role in the 2018 World Cup.
The “Atlas Lions” have their strength in the defensive block, so they have only received two goals in their last six games, and to a large extent it is because they have two players with a lot of experience in the defensive block, such as they are Mehdi Benatia and Romain Saiss, and in this game against Ukraine we do not believe that the system will change much.
Ukraine:
Unfortunately the Ukrainian team could not take advantage of the fact of closing the round of eliminatory at home against Croatia that defeated it by 0-2 and with it they remained with the second place of the group that allowed Croatia to play the repechage against Greece that at the end He won it.
But in the end, this is a thing of the past for Andriy Shevchenko who is now making a generational change in the Ukrainian national team in the face of his participation in the next UEFA Nations League and for the time being it is giving results, and so he lets it glimpse in the results achieved in the friendly against Slovakia and Japan who won by 2-1, in addition to the draw at one goal against Saudi Arabia, and now against another World Cup team as Morocco hopes to maintain that unbeaten streak in this new stage.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.61
