Brazil vs Morocco Tips, Predictions & 34/1 Bet Builder
Brazil will begin their World Cup campaign in earnest with a tricky-looking clash against Morocco in New Jersey on Saturday night.
Selecao, of course, will come under scrutiny as five-time champions, but Morocco are in the ascendancy after reaching the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago.
Brazil vs Morocco Tips
What should you expect from this meeting? We’ve scoured the markets and picked out three World Cup betting tips to capitalise on ahead of kick-off.
Tip 1: Draw
Invariably, Brazil arrives at any World Cup with a big billing, but in recent times, they have underdelivered.
The Jules Rimet trophy has eluded them since 2002, but back then, they boasted a highly vaunted side that included the likes of Ronaldo and Rivaldo.
Qualification for this summer’s showpiece event was far from straightforward, with six defeats recorded in the South American section. However, Carlo Ancelotti is a tactical genius who can blend finesse with defensive resilience to yield results.
Morocco, in stark contrast, sailed through the qualifying process, racking up eight wins from eight, sealing a World Cup Finals berth for the third successive tournament. Moreover, they possess attacking guile, and Brahim Diaz should be on Brazil’s radar as he was the AFCON’s top scorer with five goals.
This fixture will represent the first World Cup meeting between these two sides since 1998, when Brazil cruised to a 3-0 victory. Morocco are a different proposition these days, and there may be little separating these teams. For my first tip, a share of the spoils seems feasible.
Tip 2: Most Fouls Committed (Casemiro)
Casemiro is great at breaking up play, acting as a robust screen for the defence. However, he has demonstrated a cynical streak in games, often finding his way into the referee’s book.
To encompass this, the Brazilian picked up nine yellow cards and a red during his final season at Manchester United.
For his country, Casemiro has been cautioned in two of his past four international outings. Although there is value in the anytime yellow card market, I think Casemiro to commit the most fouls across the 90 minutes is a bit more tempting, albeit it has a longer price attached.
Tip 3: Draw, Morocco 2+ Shots On Target in Each Half, Igor Thiago Anytime Scorer
Brazil aren’t necessarily the force of old, but Morocco have come a long way in a short space of time. It’s difficult to make a strong case for either side, so a draw for the first leg of this treble seems fair.
Morocco are threatening on the counter, and they could ask questions of Alisson. Achraf Hakimi’s driving runs may likely engineer chances, and 2+ shots on target in each half for the Atlas Lions doesn’t seem outrageous.
Complete this bet builder with Igor Thiago, who was in stunning form for Brentford last season, to influence proceedings and find the net during the 90 minutes.
