Morocco clashes against Canada on Thursday in the 2022 World Cup Group F match at the Al Thumama Stadium and they have a chance to progress past the group stage. Although Canada is already out, this game could have a significant impact on the North African team.
Morocco will make history if they defeat Canada and advance to the round of 16 of the World Cup after their victory over Belgium gave them four points in Group F. On the other hand, their American opponents have disappointed so far, suffering two defeats from their two matches and conceding five goals in the process. In addition to beating tournament favorites Belgium, Morocco are one of the few teams yet to concede a goal so far in the World Cup.
Canada played well in some spells in their two defeats, but mistakes made by a young team have been their undoing, and as they head into this final Group F game against Morocco, they only have pride left to play for. On the other hand, Morocco boasts of two clean sheets and four points and they know that, should Belgium lose against Croatia, even a loss will guarantee their passage to the knockout round.
Even though Canada’s World Cup campaign has already ended, they will still try to earn their first-ever World Cup points when they play Morocco. In their 4-1 loss to Poland, Davies scored Canada’s first-ever World Cup goal, and the North Americans will aim to set more milestones in their final group match.
Morocco won 2-0 against a poor Belgium team after their remarkable 0-0 draw with Croatia. Thanks to their outstanding performances in the first two games, the North Africans now have a fantastic chance to advance or possibly win Group F and William Hill is offering a sweet 11/10 for the Atlas Lion to win this encounter and send Canada home with zero points.
