Brazil
- Brazil have won six, drawn one and lost three of their last ten games in all competitions (excluding penalties).
- Brazil come into this game in good form, having won three games in a row, including the last two games against Panama (6-2) and Egypt (2-1), but Morocco will be in even better shape.
Morocco
Morocco are unbeaten in their last five international matches (Won 3, Drawn 2).
Head-to-Head
Morocco won the reverse fixture 2-1 in a Friendly International three years ago, so they have a recent pedigree of upsetting one of the biggest teams in the world.
Key Players
- Marquinhos is the key player for Brazil in this match-up.
- If he can contain Morocco's counter-attack, then Brazil have a good chance of taking control of the game.
- Morocco's midfield is dictated by Azzedine Ounahi, the midfield master who controls the pace of the match and sets up Morocco's lightning-fast counter-attacks.
- Vini Júnior is a constant threat to any defence, but Morocco will be particularly wary of the right side, where Hakimi is in sensational form, providing three assists in Morocco's last five games.
- Youssef En-Nesyri will be Morocco's focal point on the front-line, he has the ability to control the ball and finish.
Betting Insights
- Brazil have won five of their last seven home games, scoring an average of 2.57 goals a game, but they won't have the comfort of familiarity in New York/New Jersey.
- Morocco have won four of their last four away games (Won 4, Drawn 0, Lost 0), scoring an average of 3.00 goals a game and conceding just 0.50 goals a game.
Prediction
Morocco are more likely to win the game with Brazil likely to score few goals.
