Predictions for the match Morocco vs Portugal World Cup 2022
Rancakmedia.com – Do you already know the prediction Morocco vs Portugal match world cup 2022? If not, you can see the article we provide below.
Morocco will face Portugal in the quarter-finals at world cup 2022 on Saturday 10 December 2022 at 22.00 WIB.
Maybe some of you have questions about whether Christiano Ronaldo is playing or not. After being benched by coach Fernando Santos against Switzerland, will CR7 return to the bench in this match or can he score his goal in the knockout phase of the world cup?
The Morocco vs Portugal match will be one of the top 8 matches of the 2022 world cup.
The match between CAF representatives (Africa) and European representatives (UEFA) will be held at Al Thumama Stadium.
Ronaldo's presence can indeed have a positive impact on Portugal's game. However, when he is absent, Portugal can also play regularly like when they beat Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 yesterday.
On the other hand, Morocco, which has a strong defense, with only conceding 1 goal in 4 matches, is Portugal's challenge.
The Moroccan team surprisingly became a dark horse team that managed to get rid of strong opponents in the group stage and round of 16 of the 2022 world cup.
The fact is that the Moroccan national team is the team that has conceded the fewest goals, a total of four matches conceded only one goal.
Morocco vs Portugal predictions for the match
Fernando Santos, who became coach of Portugal, made a big surprise in his team's line-up against Switzerland.
For the first time at the 2022 world cup, Ronaldo acted as a substitute and came on in the second half.
Ronaldo has been recorded as having played since the 2006 world cup. In Germany at that time, he did become a reserve player in the third match of the group phase against Mexico.
But at that time Ronaldo did not play at all. Total Ronaldo has played in 21 world cup matches with a contribution of 8 goals and 2 assists.
Of these, he played full 15 times, was replaced 5 times, and 1 time went down as a substitute.
The last note he experienced during the game Portugal vs Switzerland on December 7, 2022 when he played in the last 16 minutes of the match.
Don't worry if Santos gets the spotlight regarding his decision even though Ronaldi is not injured.
Interestingly, Ronaldo was able to play regularly against Switzerland and won 6-1. Ironic for Ronaldo because Goncalo Ramos who replaced his role was able to score a hat trick in that match.
“Cristiano and I have a good relationship. I have known him since he was 19 years old. I have always considered Cristiano to have an important role in the team, “said Santos.
Fernando Santos says that Ronaldo will be involved in the match against Morocco.
On the other hand, Santos did not clearly state whether the former Manchester United striker would play from the start or return to the role he played against Switzerland.
“Ronaldo will definitely be involved against Morocco. All the players on the bench could also be involved. If they don't play from the first minute, they can play as a substitute, "continued Santos.
Predicted lineups for Morocco vs Portugal
Actually even without Ronaldo, Portugal can still play well. Another piece of evidence that should reassure Portuguese fans is that they won Euro 2016 when Ronaldo didn't play the full game in the final.
Meanwhile, Morocco can lose its best squad. Hakim Ziyech, Achraf Hakimi and Yassine Bounou were able to compete from the early minutes.
- Morocco (4-2-3-1): Yassine Bounou; Achraf Hakimi, Romain Saiss, Nayef Aguerd, Yahya Attiat-Allah; Azzedine Ounahi, Sofyan Amrabat; Selim Amallah, Sofiane Boufal, Hakim Ziyech; Youssef En-Nesyri. Trainer: Walid Reragui
- Portugal (4-3-3): Diogo Costa; Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Danilo Pereira, Raphael Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Ruben Neves, Bruno Fernandes; Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo. Coach: Fernando Santos
