​FIFA World Cup -- Morocco vs Portugal Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Morocco will face quarter-final opponents Portugal at Al Toumama Stadium on Saturday.

 

Morocco

Morocco reached that stage for the first time with a strong penalty shootout win after holding up against Spain. They were the fourth African team to reach the last eight at a World Cup, and the first in 12 years.

 

Portugal

Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16. After an unstoppable opening win, 21-year-old Ramos scored a fairy-tale hat-trick in that win. Santos had watched his team secure safe passage into the World Cup's first phase as Group H champions, and with three wins and 12 goals to their record already.

 

Prediction

They did incredibly well to get here, considering that Morocco is no pushover. However, they are up against one of the tournament's toughest defenses and a Portuguese squad that excelled at all levels without Ronaldo.

 

 

Pick: Portugal win

​FIFA World Cup -- Portugal vs Switzerland Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

At Lusail Stadium on Tuesday, Group H champion Portugal will take against Group G's runner-up Switzerland.

 

Portugal

Portugal made a strong start to their campaign. They only needed one point in the last round of group games to guarantee themselves the top spot and automatic entry into the knockout rounds. Ronaldo's poor performance in front of goal is a major issue. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, a midfield duo, are primarily responsible for scoring goals.

 

Switzerland

Switzerland began their incredible journey to their first World Cup by winning two of their opening three games in Qatar. They have never before won three games at a single World Cup finals and have missed the quarterfinals in seven of their previous efforts.

 

Prediction

The Portuguese are hoping for the championship, and based on their first two performances, they have a rather cohesive team dynamic. Since it will be difficult to divide the second number into two parts, the Swiss are unlikely to close in defense. We think there will be a lot of objectives in the conflict.

 

 

Pick: Over 2 Goals

FIFA World Cup - Portugal vs Uruguay Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Portugal will play against Uruguay on Monday after the victory over Ghana in the last week.

 

Portugal

They have got 7W-1D-2L this year. The two defeats were from Spain and Switzerland in UEFA Nations League. In their most recent match against Ghana, they won by a slim margin of 3-2 thanks to three goals from different players.

 

Uruguay

They tied with South Korea 0-0 in their opening World Cup game. It seems that they played carefully. Since there hasn't been a match scheduled since July, they have played a lot of friendly games to maintain their state.

 

Verdict:

They last crossed paths at the 2018 World Cup. In the 1/16 Final, Uruguay eliminated Portugal. Portugal are ambitious now. It is believed that Portugal are going to win in the upcoming game.

 

Pick: 1

 

AH Pick: Portugal -0.5
