Morocco vs Ukraine Prediction & Betting tips
World Cup participant Morocco will play a practice match against Ukraine in Thursday’s Geneva, which did not qualify for the final round. What do the two teams offer us?
Morocco:
After twenty years, the national team of Morocco is once again present at a World Cup final round. With the Frenchman Herve Renard as national coach, the qualification was successfully completed. That way Ivory Coast in the group was still good. The basis of the success is the good defending of the team, because in the six group matches no hit had to be cashed. However, three games ended in a 0-0 tie.
Defending well, the team will also have to do at the World Cup. Morocco and Spain have two strong opponents in the group with Spain and Portugal. For the Moroccans, however, the World Cup starts with the game against Iran, against which the Renard team seems to have more chances. At the same time, the pressure is immediately on. With a bad result in the game against Iran, it is almost impossible to play a successful World Cup.
The selection of Morocco does contain some well-known names. This is Karim el Ahmadi and Hakim Ziyech. In the back Mehdi Benatia has to provide stability. One of the better players is Amine Harit, who made the switch from Nantes to Schalke 04 a year ago. In Germany he adapted effortlessly – he finished second in the Bundesliga with his club.
Ukraine:
Ukraine finished third in the qualifying group, which meant that the country failed to qualify for the World Cup. This was a missed opportunity, because the group in which the team was classified did not seem extremely difficult. In the end, Iceland and Croatia had to be let go. After the final rounds of South Africa and Brazil, Ukraine will not be there next summer.
The selection of the country is certainly not bad. National coach is Andriy Shevchenko, and he has players such as Yevhen Konoplyanka (Schalke 04), Andriy Yarmolenko (Borussia Dortmund) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (Manchester City). Attacking midfielder Marlos (Shakhtar Donetsk) has for some time besides his Brazlian also the Ukrainian nationality. He has already played five international matches for Ukraine and he has also been called up for the current practice trip.
