One of the surprise packages of the World Cup, Morocco, can extend their fine run at Qatar today - if they can get past former champions Spain.

While that is hardly an enviable opponent, the Atlas Lions have impressed. Into the knockout rounds for the first time since 1986, only an own goal has breached their defence thus far and few can doubt their quality going forward.

La Roja, meanwhile, endured a mixed group stage. Fantastic against Costa Rica, functional against Germany and flaky against Japan, Luis Enrique’s team still have a lot to prove.

Morocco vs Spain prediction

The Atlas Lions are riding the crest of a wave at the moment. So strong defensively and against a Spain team not packed with goals (Costa Rica game aside), pulling off a shock cannot be ruled out.

Morocco to win 2-0.
