Morocco vs Portugal prediction by ESPN expert Matt Law
Morocco is having an unexpectedly successful 2022 World Cup when it is in the quarterfinals for the first time and they are the 4th team of the African region in history to go to this round. However, the quarter-finals once again haunted the African teams in general and Morocco in particular.
Remember, their opponent in this match is a team that is in sublime form and excels in the depth of the Portuguese squad. According to ESPN sports expert Matt Law, the chance for Ziyech and his teammates to continue is very low.
“Morocco deserves to be the dark horse of the 2022 World Cup when it comes to the quarterfinals with undefeated form. Notably, they faced Belgium and Croatia in the group stage. Recently, the African team had a historic victory over Spain on penalties.
Of course, Morocco deserves praise from the experts, but to get the current achievement, coach Regragui's teachers and students had to spend a lot of effort. With a tight schedule and stronger opponents, it is difficult for Morocco to reach its fullest state when entering the quarterfinals.
On the contrary, Portugal got the best fitness when entering the quarter-final match against Morocco. Remember, coach Santos's teachers and students just had a victory over Switzerland with a score of 6-1 without spending too much effort.
Having many similarities with the counter-attacking defensive style of Switzerland, Morocco can completely go down the road when it comes to Portugal's warlike public goods" - Matt Law shared.
