Morocco vs Spain World Cup Round 16 Predictions by Football Ground Guide

There has been only one meeting between Morocco’s Atlas Lions and Spain's Red Fury. The previous duel was in the 2018 world cup group stages. With Morocco coming back inspired after the undefeated group run in a tough group that featured 2018 finalists Croatia, Belgium and Canada, the Atlas Lions are now more inspired than ever to face Spain for the second time. Spain lost one of their three group-stage games.

The following are our free Morocco vs Spain World Cup 2022 predictions:

Half-time Result Prediction: Draw

First Morocco vs Spain World Cup prediction by Football Ground Guide is a draw at the break. Spain’s dramatic draw against Morocco in the last World and poor showing in the last two games are signs they could struggle to score against Morocco in this round 16 clash. Luis Enrique’s men kicked off the 2022 World Cup with a massive 7-0 over Costa Rica. However, nothing has been impressive in their last two. Morocco bagged two clean sheets in the group stages and didn’t lose in the round, so a strong defence is something the Atlas Lions can rely on to frustrate Spain.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Second Morocco vs Spain prediction is under 2.5 goals. Morocco is fully aware of the hefty task ahead in this round 16 clash with Spain, so they will defend and attack as a unit. We predict a tough clash that is likely to end with fewer than 3 goals.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Spain

In the end, Spain is our pick to carry the day, so our last prediction is a 1-0 victory for odds 22/5 (5.40). Spain has a stock of talent and given how far they have reached, they are the favourites to progress to the quarterfinals with a narrow victory over Morocco.

Morocco vs Spain World Cup 2022 Round 16 Preview

The clash between the Atlas Lions and Spain’s Red Fury is a match you should not miss. It will be the second duel between the sides. Having drawn 2-2 in a past duel back in 2018 when the two teams met on World Cup stages, the question is which side will emerge supreme?

Morocco

Morocco is set to test their strength against the Spaniards after a largely successful group-stage run in the 2022 World Cup. A clean sheet against Croatia in the opener, a 2-0 clean sheet win over Belgium and finally a 2-1 victory over Canada are stats that should inspire the Atlas Lions in this round 16 clashes with Spain.

The Atlas Lions are currently ranked 22nd by FIFA in World Football and getting back to the World Cup much better than they were in 2018 is something Walid and his team hope to build on in round 16. Spain has now made it to the World Cup six times starting in 1970. The other times they played at this level were in 2022, 2018, 1998 and 1986.

Morocco predicted lineup against Spain:

• Bono, Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, Romain Saiss, Noussair Mazraoui, Abdekhamid Sabiri, Sofyan Amrabat, Azzedine Ounahi, Hakim Ziyech, Youssef En-Nesyri and Sofiane Boufal.

Spain

Spain has scored the most goal in a single match in the 2022 World Cup, thanks to a 7-0 win over Costa Rica in the opener. However, a 1-1 draw against Germany that has looked terrible and finally a 2-1 loss to Japan are stats that have tainted the good progress of the Read Fury. Their last clash with Morocco was a dramatic encounter because Spain had to come back twice to equalize in both halves. We expect a different approach from Luis Enrique’s men, especially in the wake of a World Cup that is full of surprise defeats.

Spain predicted lineup against Mocorro:

• Unai Simon, Jordi Alba, Aymeric Laporte, Rodri, Daniel Carvajal, Gavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Alvaro Morata, and Marco Asensio.
