Tip USA - Morocco

Prediction published on 31/05/2022  by Indran | Modified on 31/05/2022 at 16:29

The USA plays host to Morocco at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati for this friendly international. The hosts booked their ticket to Qatar when they finished in third spot in their qualifying group and this will be their first friendly in their preparations for the World Cup. The visitors secured their World Cup spot when they beat DR Congo 5-2 on aggregate in a playoff match. The US team have only lost twice in their last ten matches with six wins and two draws. Their home record has been nothing short of brilliant as they have won their last seven matches across all competition and are unbeaten in their last 22 home matches. The USA will need to be at their best as Morocco is the only African side that they have a 100% losing record with three losses in the three previous meetings. They will dearly love to end their win drought against them.

Morocco bounced back from a disappointing quarter final exit at the African Nations Cup to qualify for football’s global showpiece. They lost to Egypt in the AFCON quarters but only after taking the losing finalists to extra time. Morocco have an exceptional record coming into this match and have not lost a match within 90 mins since October 2019. They are now unbeaten in their last 36 matches within regular time with 28 wins and six draws. Morocco have won ten of their last 16 away matches with six draws. They have been miserly in defence keeping 11 clean sheets during this period.
