Netherlands vs Morocco
Likely line-up
📖 The Preview
Netherlands go into this one as slight favourites and the numbers back that up, with just over half the probability sitting in their corner. Morocco are no pushovers though, and both teams finding the net looks likely, which is why this ends 2-1 rather than a clean sheet job. Netherlands have enough quality to edge it, but Morocco will make them work and grab one back. It's tight enough that a draw is very much alive, but Netherlands should just about have the edge when it matters.
