Morocco vs Portugal Bet Predictions: Morocco Sent Home a Young Spain

A highly anticipated match in which the numbers suggested the match would go in favor of Spain. But with the game both teams brought to the pitch and their respective tactics, the match ended up in a hotly-contested deadlock that would only be decided in a penalty shootout.
Fortunately for Morocco, their strategy, which seemed to be to drag the match past extra time, paid off. They ended up scoring on 3 of the penalty kicks. Spain, on the other hand, walked away with nothing by 120 minutes of gameplay, a penalty shootout, and zero goals.
It was an admirable effort by Morocco, who has now made history by qualifying for the quarterfinals and humiliating Spain in the process. This is even more remarkable when we remember that Morocco doesn’t have a team packed full of international stars like the Spanish team, leaving them to fight with less ball control and less precision in their passes.
The star of the match was undoubtedly Morocco’s goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou “Bono,” who managed to save two of the penalties taken by Spain and deflect one to the post. Goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri, Hakim Ziyech, and Achraf Hakimi’s cool Panenka-like shot sealed a place in the next round.
Africa has a representative in the quarterfinals! Morocco vs Portugal looks like a tough match where both teams will give their all to reach the semifinals.

The opening surprise of the Portugal vs Switzerland match would be to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench in a series-defining match with no second chances. In his place would enter Gonçalo Ramos, who would leave us with the biggest surprise of this match, where there was no doubt about Portugal’s superiority against an entirely stupified opponent.
As for what decided the match, it had nothing to do with ball possession (47% vs. 53%) of the ball or even pass accuracy (82% vs. 84%). Instead, it was the determination and ability of the Portugal team to execute when reaching the opponent’s goal. It was a full-on display of world-class soccer and team building in one of the best duels of this World Cup.
The opening goal was scored in the 17th minute by Gonçalo Ramos. At minute 33, Pepe, at almost 40 years of age, would rise above all the players and score a header from a ball coming from a corner kick. At minute 51′ again Gonçalo Ramos would score in this match. At minute 55, Raphael Guerreiro brought up 4-0 on the scoreboard. At 58′, Switzerland scored. And at 67′, Gonçalo Ramos scored again to score the first hat – trick of this World Cup. But that was not all. At 90′ + 2′, Rafael Leao joined the goal party and scored his own goal. A 6 – 1 victory for Portugal.
A strong team will come to face Morocco vs Portugal, a match that is sure to be full of tension, excitement, and goals to enjoy.
