Netherlands vs. Morocco World Cup Round of 32 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Monday, June 29

How to watch Netherlands vs. Morocco: FOX (English) / Telemundo and Peacock (Spanish)

Kickoff Time: 9:00 p.m. ET

Venue: Monterrey Stadium in Guadalupe, Mexico

Although the Netherlands were 14th in xG (5.2) during the group stage, they were tied for the most goals per match (3.3), per FotMob. Given the defensive talent the Oranje possess, it’s unsurprising that they also ranked eighth in xG conceded (2.2).

After a 2-2 draw to begin the World Cup, the Netherlands defeated Sweden 5-1 and Tunisia 3-1. Manager Ronald Koeman’s side finished their group-play schedule as one of just two teams in the entire tournament to score 10 or more goals, with France being the other.

Ahead of Monday’s match, the Netherlands returns a 1.53x payout to qualify for the Round of 16 and the sixth-lowest payout (11.11x) to win the World Cup.

En route to finishing second in Group C with a 2-1-0 record and +3 goal difference, Morocco had success controlling possession. Over their three group-stage matches, Morocco logged the 14th-best average possession (58.9%) and ninth-most accurate passes per match (498.7).

Even in a tough matchup as the underdogs, Morocco shouldn’t be overlooked after advancing to the semifinals and losing to France (the eventual winner) at the 2022 World Cup. That being said, Morocco returns a 2.32x payout (1.56x on No) to qualify for the Round of 16.
