Bookmaker-Ratings expert Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for Saturday’s FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match between Morocco and Portugal.
Morocco became only the fourth African country to reach the quarterfinals at the World Cup by beating Spain 3-0 in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw through extra time.
They have proved to be a really good team and tough to break down.
The entire team defended well in 120 minutes, absolutely sensational defense, and their goalkeeper Bono was fantastic. Unbelievable game,
Morocco deserved this victory.
What about Portugal? They were amazing in their realization and scored 6 goals against Switzerland. Of course, the Swiss team performed much worse but did not deserve such a disastrous score.
Goncalo Ramos scored a superb hat-trick for Portugal after replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting XI.
Portugal’s team looks pretty good; their confidence will be very high after Switzerland’s match.
Who is my favorite? I think it’s going to be a very tough game for Morocco. But to be an optimist, I would say that Morocco will win 2:1. I can see them defending well and winning 2:1.
