The FIFA World Cup is back in action with another set of games this weekend as Morocco takes on Belgium in a Group F fixture. The game is happening at the Al Thumama Stadium on Sunday. Both teams are eyeing a knockout-stage spot.
Belgium managed to run their opener against Canada with all three points, somehow not complying under continuous threat from their North American rivals. Likewise, Morocco managed a point against Croatia in their opener.
Both teams are ready for the battle to collect points. Not only that, but they will show their worthiness of a Round of 16 places amidst a group full of competitors.
Belgium: Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Leander Dendoncker, Thomas Meunier, Amadou Onana, Axel Witsel, Yannick Carrasco, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Michy Batshuayi
Morocco: Yassine Bounou, Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, Romain Saiss, Noussiar Mazraoui, Azzedine Ounahi, Sofyan Amrabat, Selim Amallah, Hakim Ziyech, Youssef En-Nesyri, Sofiane Boufal
All players included in the squad will make an excellent contribution to the team to win the game. But Hakim Ziyech is likely to lead Morocco’s line of attack.
On the other hand, Michy Batshuayi may turn out to be a significant force for the Belgian side.
While there should be a few goals in this match, both sides will be happy to finish level. Belgium may have won their opening game, but they looked vulnerable at times and will need to increase their class if they are to threaten into the later stages of World Cup 2022.
Morocco is also ready to face Belgium, and we can expect the team will give their best. Meanwhile, 51% of football fans support Poland, while 21% are on the Moroccan side. Likewise, 28% say the game between Belgium and Morocco will end draw.

Moving onward, Belgium is favored in this game. Their Moneyline is set at an even +100, while Morocco is set at +310, while the draw is +240. The goalscoring line is the standard 2.5, with the under being a -135 favorite. (Note: Taken from Lineups)
