Thursday 041 World Cup Canada vs Morocco
Prediction: Negative
Goals scored: 1,2
Canada did not show strength in the North American qualifiers in the first two rounds, losing 1-0 to Belgium, the third runners-up, in the first round, and losing 4-1 to the previous runners-up Croatia in the second round, making the record of two consecutive defeats the worst of the four teams in Central and North America. After returning to the World Cup finals stage after 36 years, Canada's ability to reach the round of 32 is enough to write history.
Morocco, ranked 22nd in the world, drew Croatia and beat Belgium in the first two rounds, showing the strength of African teams, with one win and one draw with four points, at least in the standings. Even if the team has a number of major players in the five major leagues, Morocco lowered its posture in the first two games, and the possession rate in both games was not higher than 35%, with a total of 18 shots, 6 shots on target and 2 goals, from the perspective of squad strength, Morocco has a clear advantage.
Thursday 042 World Cup Croatia vs Belgium
Prediction: Win
Goals scored: 2,3
Croatia are currently ranked 12th in the world and the team currently has a record of 1 win and 1 draw with 4 points. It's still quite promising. In their last game they beat Canada 4-1, the biggest change compared to the first round is the increase in firepower in the attack, but all this is due to the difference in opponents.
Belgium's performance in this World Cup has been relatively sluggish, currently 1 win, 1 loss, 3 points. Lost 2-0 to Morocco in the last match. The team have a 1-3 record in their last four matches, while their top scorer Romelu Lukaku returned as a substitute in last week's league game and is likely to be a starter and race for the promotion spot!
Thursday 043 World Cup Japan vs Spain
Prediction: Let win
Goals scored: 2,3
At present, the index of one / one and a half goals is given, the strength of the squad is weaker than Spain by 1 grade, the tactical play is based on the ground pass control attack, but the ability and delicacy of ball control are not as good as Spain, and there are still some loopholes in their back line that are basically not resilient to speak of, difficult to solve in a short period of time, and the forward line does not have outstanding players. Therefore, together in this match, I personally feel that Spain can beat their opponents.
