Canada have shown all the energy and enthusiasm you would expect from World Cup co-hosts , but Morocco are just rated a cut above ahead of Saturday evening ’s last-16 clash.

We’re going with 13/10 for the Atlas Lions to prevail and over 1.5 total goals in the game for our first Canada vs Morocco prediction .

Form Guides

The Canucks have performed pretty much how most pundits anticipated so far in this tournament, starting out by showing their trademark battling qualities to come from behind and draw 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina . Hopes of topping the Group B table were raised when Jonathan David hit a hat-trick in a 6-0 rout of Qatar but Switzerland had just a little bit too much nous for Canada in a 2-1 Vancouver victory.
Jesse Marsch’s men still had great support when switching to Los Angeles for a last-32 clash with South Africa , though, and Stephen Eustaquio’s stoppage-time strike secured a 1-0 success . “I think we worked a lot to get this victory,” said the goalscorer. “We really wanted to give this win to all of the Canadians. We just kept believing, kept pushing.”
It would go against the grain for Canada to now clam up and we still expect them to adopt a positive approach to this tie. However, that just makes a BOYLE Sports price boost of 16/5 for Morocco to win and both teams to score catch the eye for our World Cup tips today .
Morocco form guide
The Atlas Lions managed to get past Spain and Portugal in the knockout rounds four years ago before losing to France and went into this tournament as African champions, so it is no surprise to see them doing well again. After drawing 1-1 with Brazil in a highly-entertaining encounter first up, Morocco edged out Scotland 1-0 and then overcame the shock of twice going behind against Haiti to prevail 4-2 .
Mohamed Ouahbi’s men again had to fight back after the Netherlands went ahead on 72 minutes against the run of play in their last-32 clash , but Issa Diop’s header in the closing stages of normal time levelled things up. After an extra 30 minutes was not enough to separate the sides, Morocco came out on top in a messy penalty shoot-out , with Ismael Saibari scoring the decisive spot-kick.
Let’s add 5/1 for the 25-year-old to break the deadlock here to our World Cup tips today - and for those seeking a bigger pay-out, how about 28/1 for Saibari to strike first in a 2-1 win for Morocco .
