Morocco vs Haiti Prediction & Betting Tips — FIFA World Cup
Our Morocco vs Haiti Prediction: Over 1.5
- Morocco have won 31 of their last 39 matches.
- Haiti are officially eliminated from the knockout stages.
Why Morocco Over 1.5 Goals for Morocco vs Haiti
Our Morocco vs Haiti World Cup prediction is that the winner will depend on whether Morocco rest their starting unit or not. Haiti are out of the World Cup after losing to Scotland last time out. So Morocco might rest Hakimi, Brahim Diaz and Saibari to avoid any pointless injuries.
If Morocco don't rest their starters, we say Morocco 2-0 Haiti. But if they do, it's possible Haiti could win or hold Morocco's 2nd unit to a draw.
Morocco Overwhelming Favourites
Morocco are the clear favourite for this match. Fresh off a 1-0 victory over Scotland, the Atlas Lions have now won 31 of their last 39 matches. That record speaks volumes about the quality and winning mentality within this squad.
Against an already eliminated Haiti side, Morocco should create several goalscoring opportunities. But then again, that is only if they field their starting XI. Morocco might not want to risk any pointless injuries, so it will not be a shock if Coach Ouhabi calls upon his 2nd XI.
Haiti's Poor Run of Form
If we're being honest, few people expected Haiti to make a deep run at this tournament. Their lack of experience on the big stage has been on full display, as they fell 3-0 behind Brazil before halftime on Matchday 2 and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Scotland in their opening game.
As it stands, the Haitians no longer have anything to play for after being mathematically eliminated from the World Cup.
Ismael Saibari One to Watch
Ismael Saibari is playing some of the best football of his career at this World Cup, and we're expecting him to be eager to get on the scoresheet against Haiti. The forward found the net on both Matchday 1 and Matchday 2, cementing his role in Morocco's offensive system.
Even more impressively, Saibari has scored half (4) of Morocco's 8 goals across their last 5 matches. Given his current form and Morocco's favourable matchup, he looks like one of the most likely goalscorers in this contest.
Verdict
Morocco are the superior team across the pitch and should have enough quality to make lightwork of a Haiti side that has lost 3 consecutive matches. Our final prediction is Morocco Over 1.5 Goals. For this selection, a $100 wager could return approximately $130.
