The Scout: World Cup Matchday 17 Preview, 6 Dec Posted on December 6, 2022March 10, 2023 | Posted by David Shortte Round of 16 (4) Morocco v Spain Achraf Hakimi, Hakim Ziyech, Sofyan Amrabat and Sofiane Boufal were all given a rest from full training over the weekend as Morocco prepared for the Spain clash. All 4 will have a huge part to play in the game. Yassine Bounou has fully recovered from illness to continue in goal. Spain boss Luis Enrqiue is likely to restore Jordi Alba and Ferran Torres to his starting line-up, while Alvaro Morata is pushing for a second consecutive start having scored 3 goals in 3 games so far. Dani Carvajal could deputise for Cesar Azpilicueta, the latter came off after 45 minutes against Japan in the final group game. WIN Spain @ $1.48* Portugal v Switzerland Portugal will return to full strength having rested several players in the defeat to South Korea. Diogo Dalot is one man who put his hand up for a starting place having performed well and his inclusion would see Joao Cancelo move to the left side of the defence. Nuno Mendes is out of the rest of the tournament and Danilo Pereira will miss this game. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer was absent from the win over Serbia but Switzerland are hoping that he can return between the posts. Otherwise, no changes are expected, and the frontline has been performing well thanks in large part to Breel Embolo and Xherdan Shaqiri. WIN Portugal @ $1.81* *Odds correct as at 9am, 6th December 2022. Market Market
