Canada is going to fight tooth and nail to ensure that it stays in the FIFA World Cup after it drew Morocco for the Round of 16.
While the odds aren’t too disparate, and the North Americans are given (+233) chance to win, against Morocco’s (-270), the team that notoriously eliminated Netherlands from the event, in what was either a stroke of exceptional good luck or outplaying the Europeans if you are rooting for Atlas Lions.

Canada is a team that has persevered this World Cup, with the North Americans defeating Qatar in a convincing 6-0 game, and ending its game against Bosnia and Herzegovina with a draw.
Furthermore, the nation lost a closely-contested game with Switzerland, leaving something to be desired in the long run.
Now, the team will have to play its best game yet, as Morocco is coming from a successful game against Netherlands, dismantling one of the most formidable squads in a hard-fought game that it almost won by luck.
Still, Morocco poses a genuine threat to Canada, with the team absolutely dominating in the game against the Netherlands, with 70% ball control 12 shots overall and 6 shots on target, although a single realizaiton.
Morocco almost lost, as it scored only in the 90+1’ eventually taking the game to the penalty shootout where it won. Now Morocco is set to do the same against Canada, relying on a strong lineup that is capable of delivering strong results in a pinch.
For its part, Canada needs to manage to both hold off against Morocco but also score, as the Round of 16 will also be a knockout stage in which no team will have standings or accumulate points.
Both teams face an elimination at the event for a second time, and they will both seek to push through with Morocco demonstrating formidable resilience, but so did Canada by defeating South Korea in the Round of 32 with a goal in 90+2’.
However, it is Morocco that will most likely be advancing here.
Pick: Morocco to Advance (-270)
