Canada vs Morocco Preview

Co-hosts Canada will be looking to continue to break new ground in World Cup football, as they take on Morocco in Houston.

The Canadians are riding the crest of a wave under Jesse Marsch, but they know that this is a true step in quality.

Morocco continue to fly the flag for African football and their performances in the tournament so far have been hugely impressive.

All of the emphasis and ownness is on the Moroccans here, as they look to build upon their penalty shootout win over the Netherlands and they will be full of confidence.

Canada will be ready to give this one a good go, which should make for a real spectacle here in Houston.

Here is a look ahead Canada vs Morocco:

The stakes are sky high here for Canada and Morocco, who will both believe they have what it takes to reach the last eight of the World Cup.

Canada have been backed to the hilt by home support and the nature of their last gasp win over South Africa last time out is sure to give them hope.

Morocco meanwhile were touted as potential outsiders for the competition, and they have lived up to that tag thus far.

When it comes to big game experience though, the Moroccans should have more to call upon here and with greater squad depth, they look a decent shout to win over the 90 minutes.

Morocco to win the match & under 2.5 goals @ $3.40

For all the superlatives levelled at both Canada and Morocco in the tournament so far, both sides have looked to build from the back.

Neither team is too generous in terms of their defensive output and not losing will be the key, rather than going out and winning.

Morocco always look to keep things tight and with some very pacy players in wide areas, they could manage to pick off Canada in a low scoring encounter here in Houston.

Best Value Bet

Brahim Diaz to score or assist (anytime) @ $3.50

Bet Now

Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz is normally at the heart of anything good that Morocco do and he looks set to be the key man again for his country.

By his high standards, he had a quiet game against the Netherlands, having been asked to do plenty of defensive duties.

With more emphasis on Morocco to come out and play here, Brahim Diaz could be the creative spark that unlocks the door here.
