Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Anytime Goalscorer – Alvaro Morata – 2.4
Spain’s only defeat to an African nation at the World Cup came via a 3-2 loss to Nigeria in 1998, with current manager Luis Enrique starting for Spain in that game. No doubts they will be looking to maintain the record, thus, serving as the much needed motivation to eliminate Morocco.
Alvaro Morata’s minute-to-goal ratio (minutes per goal: 42) for Spain is all that’s needed to tip him to be an anytime goalscorer when they face off Morocco in the round of 16.
Morocco has so far appeared to be one of the highly contending teams from Africa. After 36 years of World Cup disappointment, they finally progress to a knockout phase of the tournament. Speaking to the press, manager Walid Regragui challenged his players to “aim for the sky” and dream of lifting the famous trophy. Morocco have gone 7 games unbeaten prior to the World Cup, both in competitive and non competitive matches.
Spain who began their Qatar 2022 World Cup journey with win 7-0 win against Costa Rica, felt it would be all smooth till the final fixtures of the group stage.
