Canada vs Morocco Predictions – Round of 16 (Match 1)

Canada arrive here with plenty of belief after grinding out a 1-0 win over South Africa last week, and they’ll likely look to lean on the same high-energy, disciplined approach against a Morocco side riding a serious wave of momentum.

The Canadians have pace and directness in wide areas, while Jonathan David gives them a genuine focal point in attack if they can win the ball high and transition quickly.

Morocco, meanwhile, are fresh off one of the results of the tournament after stunning the Netherlands on penalties. The Atlas Lions are well organised, tough to break down, and dangerous when they can spring forward through theiur talented midfield.

This shapes as another tight knockout arm wrestle, with Canada likely to bring the running power and Morocco happy to absorb pressure before picking their moments.

Canada are capable of making this very uncomfortable, but Morocco’s defensive structure and recent knockout experience gives them the slight edge.
