Morocco’s form in previous matches
Despite being far more traditional than Canada, Morocco made their World Cup debut in Qatar as the group’s Patinho Feio. Not because of the quality of his team, but because of the relationship problems that caused the change of command of the selection about three months before the competition.
However, the turbulence did not seem to affect the performance of the team, which started the dispute with a goalless draw against Croatia, vice-world champions in Russia in 2018, and defeated Belgium, by 2 -0, Sunday, November 27. Goals from Saiss, in the 28th minute, and from Aboukhlal, in the 47th minute, both in the second half.
In this way, they reached the final round based solely on their result to qualify for the round of 16 and with the possibility of being in first position in the group. To be able to move on to the next stage, a draw is enough. Maybe I can do it even losing. As long as Belgium is overtaken by the Croats.
The fight for top spot, however, may involve a dispute over goal difference. As they have the same score as Croatia, if the two win their last matches, they should reverse their disadvantage at the item (3 to 2), which is the first tiebreaker of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Interesting fact: Morocco have never lost to Canada in all competitions (2 wins and 1 draw), most recently a 4-0 friendly victory in October 2016.
