Morocco v Portugal prediction

Morocco have had a brilliant World Cup so far but it looks like they’ll exit at the quarter-final stage.

Portugal should have too much all over the pitch and they will book their place in the semi-finals.

Fernando Santos will start Goncalo Ramos up front instead of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Benfica man offers much more to the Portugal side.
