LiontipsCanada - Morocco: betting tip (cf 1.77) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Canada holds the best tournament in its history, overcame the group stage for the first time, and then won the 1/16 finals match. In its quartet, the national team finished in second place with four points ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina on goal difference. It all resembled a fairy tale, the continuation of which was getting into the playoffs against a very passable opponent— the South African national team. The Reds did not convert their favorite status into a result for 90 minutes, but more often created scoring chances at someone else's goal. It got a little sharper when Alfonso Davis from Bayern Munich entered the field. The captain stepped up his movement on the left flank, he was not a defender himself, but rather an attacking winger. The wards of Jesse Marsh beat the South Africans on shots (12:6 on target 7:1), but opened up a saturated defense only in stoppage time. In the 92nd minute, Stephen Eustakiu struck from a distance and put the ball exactly in the bottom corner — 1:0. The expected xG goals (1.60 vs. 0.13) confirms that success came from the game.

Current form
The national team went through the group stage without defeats and took second place in the quartet, losing the first place to Brazil on goal difference. The Africans played on equal terms with Selesao (1:1), beat Scotland 1-0 and defeated Haiti (4:2) in a shootout. Ismael Saibari is a member of the team. The midfielder scored in all three group matches and, without waiting for the end of the World Cup, moved from PSV to Bayern Munich.
The national team of Morocco in the match of the 1/16 finals against the Netherlands won in a penalty shootout and qualified for the 1/8 finals. The first half was held in an equal struggle and remained without goals. But in the 72nd minute, the Orange took the lead and forced the Africans to open up. Head coach Mohamed Wabi threw almost all the field players into the attack, and this moment turned the end of the meeting into a real thriller. In stoppage time in the 91st minute, Issa Diop equalized the score after a flank pass - 1:1. Extra time did not reveal the winner, and in a dramatic penalty shootout (3:2), the red–greens were more accurate.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the national team.

Tip and bets
For Canada, the home World Cup is a story that is unlikely to be rewritten. Marsh's players are able to maintain high intensity, pressure and endure until the final whistle. However, such tactics can lead to the formation of free zones and effective defensive mistakes. It should be noted that in three of the four matches at the tournament, the Maple leafs scored after the 78th minute, so it's too early to write off the team in advance with any score.
The Moroccan national team came to North America in the status of one of the best teams in African football. The Atlas Lions won the African Cup of Nations at home, albeit not quite in a sporting way, and the 2022 World Cup semi-final in Qatar stopped looking like an accident. In today's matchup, head coach Mohamed Wabi will surely rely on ball control, instant pressure after losses and the inclusion of the best pair of extreme defenders of the tournament — Ashraf Hakimi and Nussair Mazraoui.
We believe that the red and green will dictate their terms, and the North Americans' open style of play may affect the final result. Don't forget that at the last World Cup, the Moroccan national team beat Canada 2-1, and the skill and experience of PSG, Manchester United and Real Madrid players is enough to qualify for the next round.
Prediction – Morocco wins with a coefficient of 1.77
Bet on the total
The Moroccans completed three games with a total of less at the tournament, and the Africans will not reveal themselves. It should be noted that in the last five matches of the seven maple leafs, no more than two goals were scored, and in the duel against South Africa they did not shine in attack and scored only in stoppage time. We believe that the opponents will play confidently on the defensive and will not be able to break through the main total.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65
A bet on yellow cards
In our opinion, the opponents will not be rude and intend to play carefully, it is worth counting on more than two yellow cards. The referees on average at the World Cup show 1.7 mustard plasters for the Canadian national team, while the Morocco referees issued only two warnings in four games. We expect that there will be few yellow cards.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is less than 2.5 with a coefficient of 2.13
