Betting tips for Portugal vs Morocco 20.06.2018

The Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow receives, on Wednesday, the match of the second day of the group stage of the World Cup between the teams of Portugal and Morocco. The Luso starred, along with Spain, one of the best games of the first day, but is now forced to win the two remaining games to go to eighth, trying to score to have an advantage over Spain. Meanwhile, Morocco, although it was better that they will go throughout the game, ended up losing and now has to beat the two colossi of the group to be able to aspire to something.


 

Portugal comes to this game five days after the debut in the World Cup in a fantastic 3-3 against Spain, with a colossal Cristiano Ronaldo, with a hat trick. With this draw, the two Iberian teams were left with one point, two less than Iran, being now forced to win the games against the theoretically weakest selections of the group. The Lusos presented more weaknesses in defense of what is normal since Fernando Santos took the team and it is natural that the Portuguese coach try to correct this situation. The European champions continue to have all their seedlings, without any problem of injury and if we are guided by Euro 2016, we can expect some rotation throughout the group stage. After those already mentioned in defense, maybe Guedes, who was unwise on two occasions against De Gea, gives his place to André Silva, player of Italian AC Milan.


Morocco faces the European champion after, also on Friday, having lost with one of the best Asian teams, also commanded by a Portuguese. The Africans dominated the match, but failed to overcome the Iranian defensive wall, and the Persians ended up scoring a goal in the discounts that put them in the lead of Group B of this World Cup. Morocco is one of the most experienced and Europeanized teams in Africa, with many players who made their training in several European countries. Thus, although they have to win, we should not wait for a desperate team, opening for the Portuguese counter. The French coach of this selection, Hervé Renard, will not be able to count on Amrabat, injured in the match of the first day, in addition that he has Dirar's doubt, which may be absence. Some changes are expected, betting the French coach for a more closed block and playing against a team that will seek victory and have more ball.


Total favoritism for a Portugal that proved, on the first day, that with a Cristiano Ronaldo in gold ball mode, he can face any of the candidates for the title. The Portuguese will look for more victory, but Fernando Santos usually prepares very well this type of matches, without conceding spaces for the opponents. In addition, the lions of the Atlas will have to open, since they are not worth any result other than the three points.
