The third round of the group stage, France lost to Tunisia 0-0, Spain lost to 1-2 Japanese , Portugal lost to South Korea 1-2, Brazil lost to Cameroon 0-1, and it is frequent unpopularity, but it has to be said that these seed teams have either qualified or want to pick opponents in the knockout stage. They cannot be said to play counterfeit balls, but they really have not really played their strength.
enters the knockout round, which is completely different. The seeds all solved the problem within 90 minutes. The Netherlands defeated the United States 3-1, Argentina defeated Australia 2-1, France defeated Poland 3-1, England defeated Senegal 3-0, and Brazil defeated South Korea 4-1.
There were only two non-seeded teams to compete, which was extremely anxious. The Croatian team fought against the Japanese team for 120 minutes, but it was still 1-1. The two teams entered a penalty shootout, and in the end, Croatia won 4-2 (3-1 penalty kick). The two seed teams of Spain and Portugal will also appear in the quarterfinals tonight. What will be the result?
Beijing time tonight, Spain vs Morocco, Spain defeated Costa Rica 7-0 in the first round, setting a record for the biggest score difference in this cup, but it has to be said that Costa Rica was stunned, and this is an abnormal game. The second round drew with Germany 1-1. The Spanish team performed well in this game and basically had an advantage in the whole game. In the third round, Spain was reversed 2-1 by the Japanese team while leading 1-0 in the first half. Although there was indeed a little bit of failure, the team also showed some of its own problems.
First, young players are not good at playing against the wind and tough battles. Garvey, Pedri, and Fati are all young talents, but how they perform in a stressful match like the World Cup knockout stage is worth discussing. Secondly, after replacing Morata against against , the Spanish team lacked center and could not use the cross from the wing. Third, Rodri came as a central defender, and the old Busquets is still the main midfielder, and there are huge hidden dangers when encountering a real strong team.
, and Morocco tied with Croatia 0-0 in the first round of the group stage, defeated the seed Belgium 2-0 in the second round, and defeated Canada 2-1 in the third round, and ranked first in the group with 2 wins and 1 draw, and only lost one own goal, showing the team's outstanding strength.
On the football field, strength is still the most important thing, so upset also requires conditions. The gap in strength cannot be too big. For example, the Japanese team can upset the German team and the Spanish team, but the Chinese team will definitely not upset the two teams.
From the latest odds list, Morocco team lost 6.80, draw 3.60, and loss 1.40. With one goal, Spain still won 2.40, and loss 2.57, which means that the market is optimistic that the Spanish team will beat their opponents with more than one goal.
But I do not agree with this view. Both teams are unrestrained teams and have certain problems in defense. It may be a big ball tonight. The Spanish team may win a small goal, but beware of a draw. The specific score prediction is: 1-0, 2-1, 1-1, 2-2.
