BELGIUM v MOROCCO
BELGIUM
Belgium opened their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Canada who proved to be a challenging opponent. The winning goal came courtesy of Michy Batshuayi just before half-time.
MOROCCO
Morocco were underdogs for their opening game against Croatia and the match finished goalless and Morocco will know if they can get anything from this game they will have an excellent chance of progressing to the last 16. Morocco’s defence has been impressive in recent times and in their last 4 games they have not conceded a goal.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides last me in a friendly International in 2008 with Morocco winning 4-1 and they also met in the World Cup 1994 with Belgium edging Morocco 1-0 in the group stages.

Belgium 21/20
Draw 12/5
Morocco 29/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 12/5
Morocco was my pick amongst the African teams at the start of the Tournament and although they seem to lack some fire power up front, their defence certainly gives them a good chance of keeping Belgium honest and I think we are looking at another draw here.

CROATIA v CANADA
CROATIA
Croatia started 12/10 to beat Morocco in their opening game, but they failed to find the back of the net, but at the same time managed to stop Morocco from scoring.
CANADA
Canada put up a brave fight against Belgium going down to a winner in the 44th minute and they will be well aware that they need something out of this game if they are going to keep their chances of progressing alive.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides have never met in a competitive match.

Croatia 12/10
Draw 95/40
Canada 5/2
Suggested Bet: Croatia win at 12/10
I think this could be quite a cagey affair early, but both sides will know that a draw will put them under huge pressure to qualify and I am expecting Croatia to do enough to get the win.
