Morocco will likely be the narrow favorites in the betting for this quarterfinal showdown, as they bid to kick on after finishing top of the Group B standings. The African nation finished ahead of pre-tournament favorites Argentina courtesy of their superior head-to-head record.
Morocco’s place in the knockout round as group winners was assured with a dominant 3-0 win over Iraq in Nice on Tuesday. Michael Richardson opened the scoring, before two further goals were added before the half time break.
Morocco vs USA Picks
This should be a competitive clash in the quarterfinals at the Olympics. However, the narrow preference is for Morocco to land victory and secure their place in the last four.
