Spain aim victory against Morocco in their final group game as they look to secure a place in last 16
Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Kaliningrad Stadium, Kaliningrad
Spain would be disappointed at the way they have started this world cup so far as one expects a lot better from them. But nevertheless they have done better then a lot of their other top rivals by avoiding a shock defeat thus far.
They know that the task is not that hard and if they play their normal football, they will qualify for the next round. Morocco has not have had the best of world cups for them and are vulnerable.
On the other hand, The Lions of the Atlas are already eliminated and they are playing for pride. In their last game they will look to test themselves against the likes of Spain and may be look for an improbable draw.
The two sides have just played twice against each other thus far, with Spain winning both these games.
Team news and possible line-ups
Amine Harit and Ayoub El Kaabi are both available for Morocco ahead of the Spain game and might play.
As for Spain, they are unlikely to change their winning XI from Iran game. Although Hierro might want to play Koke in the team.
Morocco XI : Mohamedi, Dirar, Benatia, Costa, Hakimi, El Ahmadi, Boussoufa, Amrabat, Belhanda, Ziyech, El Kaabi.
Spain XI : De Gea, Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Koke, Busquets, Iniesta, Silva, Isco, Costa.
Prediction
I expect Spain to dominate this match and get a win to secure qualification to the round of 16. I think they will win 2-0 with goals from Costa and Isco.
