Morocco wasn’t planned to be in the quarterfinals, according to the analysts and pundits, therefore, the game between them and Portugal comes as a very exotic one.
Before Betting on Morocco vs. Portugal
Morocco has been without a defeat for the past 10 games, and just a few noticed that. The African powerhouse kept eight clean sheets during this stretch, meaning they are one very compact and cohesive unit.
Eliminating Spain came primarily due to fantastic discipline in the defense and midfield as well, but we need to say that the Moroccan strikers could have solved this event much earlier. In the end, it was Bono, Sevilla’s goalkeeper was the key guy on the field, stepping up in the penalty shootout and stopping the rivals.
On the other side, Portugal was let’s say… Impressive. They played without Ronaldo, who was left on the bench, and we are pretty sure this move confused Switzerland, whose game plan was focused on CR and stopping him.
That’s why Gomes scored a hat-trick, and Selecao totaled six goals, as nobody among the Swiss counted on all this. After beating Ghana 3-2 and Uruguay, 2-0, this was another display that confirmed all the assessments that Portugal could easily go all the way in Qatar.

The Moroccans are without any pressure in this one, but on the other side, Portugal’s form is incredible and we don’t think they will miss this chance to reach the semis without clashing with one of the top ten teams in the FIFA rankings. Therefore, our pick is Portugal.
