Portugal vs Morocco Head-to-head 

The two groups went up against each other only once before. Strangely, the conflict was likewise played at the World Cup, in 1986 when Morocco took a stunning 3-1 triumph in the gathering stage.

Portugal vs Morocco Prediction 

Portugal left a solid impression in the opening conflict with Spain, yet their guarded line ended up being super helpless permitting three goals in those days. The assault did not do much either, as odd as it sounds knowing the group stowed three goals against such heavyweights as Spain. 

In any case, Portugal had close to three shots on target (five altogether), Ronaldo giving them all. The first originated from the punishment spot. The second would have never gone in had without De Gea's stunning response, while the third one was a certified screamer after a wonderfully taken bended free-kick shot from the Real Madrid star. 

Santos' men will be up against a totally unique outlook here as the Atlas Lions will sit at the back and sitting tight for their odds from counter-assaults. They do have players to react well to such system in any semblance of Nordin Amrabat, Younes Belhanda, Amine Harit and Hakim Ziyech. 

The North Africans needed to assault hoping to separate Iran in the principal coordinate. They'll play totally extraordinary this time out and we'd not be astounded to see them perform extremely well and even get an outcome here. 

Moroccan protective line transported no goals at all in six qualifying undertakings in transit to the World Cup in Russia and they've been difficult to separate in friendlies later on. 

We'll run with Morocco or Draw Double Chance at the 2.40 chances as the primary wagering choice here, while you can on the other hand back the Under 2.5 goals full-time at 1.72. 

The Predicted Full-Time Result is Morocco securing a limited 0-1 triumph in what could be an extreme undertaking for Cristiano Ronaldo and friends.
