Their midfield duo of Gavi and Pedri are extremely talented but are relatively untested for the national team in high-pre sure matches like these and as a result, could struggle against an aggre sive pre sing Morocco side.Sofyan Amrabat has been particulalrly strong in the African side's midfield, and could prove a real handful in the middle of the park again here.That said, there's still a sizeable gulf in quality between these two sides and even though we expect Morocco to prove tough to break down, we can still see Spain running out as narrow winners in regular time.MORE: Pick:Both teams to scoreOdds:+120 ( )These two teams both have one thing in common: star power.Hakim Ziyech,You sef En-Nesyri,Sofiane Boufal andAchraf Hakimi all offer Morocco fantastic attacking ability, so it's difficult to not see them get on the scoresheet again here.Overall, they've found the net in six of their last eight outings as well.As for Spain, their talent knows no bounds, with a plethora of star quality scattered acro s the pitch.Alvaro Morata remains their key man, netting three goals in just 126 minutes of action at the 2022 World Cup. That average of one goal per 42 minutes could be added to Bob Lilly T Shirts again here.Lastly, Spain have seen their last two World Cup matches witne s both teams scoring, as well as their final pre-tournament friendly vs. Jordan, whilst Morocco's last outing at the World Cup also saw both teams score, 2-1 against Canada.Morocco vs Spainflier betPick:Tie at half time, Spain at fulltimeOdds:+300( )Just like the other knockout matches we've seen so far at the 2022 World Cup, this clash between Morocco and Spain should prove to be another tight encounter, especially throughout the first half.Over half of the matches at this tournament have now remained goalle s at half time and we could see that occurring again here.For context, these two sides have so far combined to concede Leighton Vander Esch Jersey just one first-half goal through six outings, while Morocco surprised many to top their group by only conceding one goal.If this match ends up playing out as we think it will, it be tight at first and then open up more in the second half when, given Spain's depth in quality off the bench, we expect the 2010 winners to show their quality when it matters most.MORE: DateTimeTV ChannelStreamingUSATue, Dec. 610:00 ETFox,Telemundo ,Fox Sports site/app,Telemundo Deportes site/app,PeacockCanadaTue, Dec. 610:00 ETTSN 1,RDS (French)TSN site/app,RDS appUKTue, Dec. 615:00GMTITV, STVITVX, STV PlayerAustraliaWed, Dec. 602:00 AEDTSBSSBS On DemandIndiaTue, Dec. 620:30ISTSports18Voot, JioTVHong KongTue, Dec. 623:00HKTNow TV (Ch. 616, 618)Now TVMalaysiaTue, Dec. 623:00 MYTAstro FIFA World Cup 1Astro GOSingaporeTue, Dec. 623:00 SGTStarHub FIFA World Cup,Singtel FIFA World Cup 141Singtel TV GO, CAST,StarHu
