The Scout: World Cup Matchday 19 Preview, 10 Dec Posted on December 10, 2022March 10, 2023 | Posted by The Scout Quarter Finals (2) Morocco v Portugal Morocco are the surprise package of the final 16, overcoming Spain on penalties thanks in large part to an impressive defence. Nayef Aguerd, Romain Saiss, and Sofyan Amrabat all picked up injuries in that game, while Ackraf Hakimi currently has a modified training program. All bar Aguerd are likely to play. Goncalo Ramos’ blistering hat-trick in the 6-1 win over Switzerland will see him start up front again at the expense of Cristiano Ronaldo. Joao Cancelo was a surprising omission from the starting line up in that game; Diogo Dalot and Raphael Guerreiro are now the preferred full back choices. Rafael Leao remains a threat off the bench. WIN Portugal @ $1.64* England v France Gareth Southgate should stick with the system that has gotten England to the last 16, despite rumours of switching to a back three. Raheem Sterling flew to England for family reasons and is now back with the squad. That trip took its toll, so Phil Foden is set to start again. France had a scare when Kylian Mbappe missed training with an ankle issue but he has been passed fit, meaning Didier Deschamps can name an unchanged team. Antoine Griezmann has excelled in a deeper role, while Olivier Giroud will be keen to improve on his record as the nation’s all time leading scorer. Aurelien Tchouameni and Jules Kounde are a booking away from suspension. WIN France @ $2.40* *Odds correct as at 9am, 10th December 2022. Market Market
