Canada vs Morocco Expert Picks Tonight
OVER 2.5 Goals (-115)
Both of these teams will press high and push for victory on American Independence Day. But, instead of playing a juiced Morocco moneyline, or backing the underdog Canadians, we’re rolling with the OVER 2.5 and betting that goals will be scored in abundance.
Canada and Morocco have enough attacking substance to make 2.5 goals look small. To start, Jesse March’s squad have been excellent in the final third at the World Cup, averaging 2.25 goals, 2.13 expected goals, 17.5 shots, 7 shots on target and 13 shots inside the box per match. That attacking data points to a team who consistently get themselves into scoring position and force keepers to work. Additionally, they’ve done an excellent job of creating from the flanks, averaging 9.75 corners and 29 crosses per match. Sure, the 6-0 game against Qatar inflates some of these stats, but the attacking theme has been with Canada all tournament. Remember, they put nine corners on Bosnia, seven shots on target against Switzerland and found enough pressure to beat South Africa after they sat deep all match.
Morocco, on the other hand, will come out and play. Which is exactly what we like to see when betting the OVER. They average 1.75 goals, 1.79 expected goals, to go along with 14.75 shots, 5.25 shots on target, and 9.5 box shots per match. They’ve scored against the likes of Brazil and the Netherlands, put four on Haiti and have more than enough final third quality to punish Canada.
We’re simply betting that Canada can remain dangerous, and this game becomes far more than sleepy 1-0 Morocco victory. There are plenty of paths to victory with our OVER 2.5 goals play. A Morocco opener forces Canada forward. A Canada goal chances the entire complexion of the match. Either path gives the OVER a real appeal.
Canada vs Morocco Prop Tonight
Jonathan David to Score or Assist (+225)
David is the player prop I want a piece of. Canada has been on the front foot all tournament and David is central to their attack. He has the clearest scoring runway for the Reds and the numbers back it up. The Juventus man is averaging 4.35 shots per 90 minutes, 1.9 shots on target per 90, 0.77. expected goals per 90, and nearly 18 box touches. In other words, David is a constant dangerman in the opposition box and is receiving plenty of service from his teammates.
Canada create through wide service, second balls, and runners arriving around David. He can finish the move, or also play connector, and we still get paid out at a +225 price.
If Canada score against Morocco, David will be a huge part of it. Should Canada be forced to chase, he will stay central to everything. And if we hit our OVER play, David’s involvement is the best way to ride Canada’s goalscoring capabilities.
