Morocco vs USA Team Overview
Morocco
Morocco have secured first place in Group B at the 2024 Summer Olympics, surpassing expectations in a group where Argentina were initially considered the favorites. This marks the best result in Morocco’s history at the tournament.
In the group stage, Tarik Sektioui’s team pulled off a sensational victory against Argentina, followed by a defeat to Ukraine and then a confident win over Iraq. It is also worth noting that the North Africans avoided defeat in regular time in five of their last seven matches at this tournament, boasting three wins and two draws.
Morocco also set a personal record for the number of victories in the group stage at the Olympic Games, a milestone in their Olympic journey, as they had never before reached the knockout stages of the tournament.
USA
The United States have been one of the most exciting teams in the tournament. They finished the group stage in second place behind France. This strong showing was well-earned, as the team consistently found the back of the net.
After an initial setback with a loss against France in the first round (0-3), Marko Mitrovic’s team rebounded impressively as they went on to beat New Zealand and Guinea with a three-goal difference.
This marks the first time since the 2000 Olympics that the USA has advanced to the knockout stages. In that tournament, they reached the semi-finals but fell to Spain (1-3) and then lost the bronze medal match to Chile (0-2).
Morocco vs USA Prediction
- Pick: Morocco to Win
- Odds: 2.15 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Morocco 2-1 USA
In the first round of the group stage, Morocco pulled off a surprising 1-2 victory against Argentina—a result few had anticipated. Morocco was agile, focused, and effectively pressured the Argentinean forwards and midfielders.
Conversely, the United States struggled against a formidable French side, losing 0-3 without offering much resistance. While they have a balanced and attractive squad, they struggle under pressure.
While we anticipate a close match and concentration from both teams throughout the match, Morocco will eventually seize the initiative. Both Soufiane Rahimi and Achraf Hakimi have been tremendous this tournament, and Morocco should be able to grab a victory in this tough game.
