Morocco vs USA Prediction & Picks - Men's Olympic Tournament

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Soccer Picks

We've reached the quarter-finals of the men's football event at the 2024 Olympics. This match sees the Moroccans take on the USA in what has the makings of a very decent game. Both teams made it this far thanks to two wins in the groups, with both showing an ability to score goals, so this could be an exciting game. It is Morocco that is currently favored in the early betting, though the US should not be discounted here, not for a second.

Morocco - USA: Form Analysis

The Moroccans made a promising and slightly surprising start to this tournament by beating Argentina on match-day one, securing the win in dramatic fashion as their opponents had a goal disallowed deep into stoppage time. A defeat to Ukraine followed, before they got the better of Iraq, booking their place in the quarter-finals. We've seen from strong offensive play, but also some dodgy defending. 

For the US, things didn't go to plan on match-day one, but they've since shifted through the gears, beating both New Zealand and Guinea in resounding fashion. Sure, they came up short against the French, which is worrying as they head towards the business end of the tournament, though they did compete more than the fiinal result suggested against the tournament hosts.

Morocco & USA Squad Analysis

After a pleasing win against Iraq in their final group game, the Moroccans should be unchanged here. Soufiane Rahimi has been a key player for Tarik Sektioui's men and is expected to continue leading the line. For the US, Kevin Paredes has been key and having scored twice last time out, he is all set to play a starring role once more. Winger Griffin Yow came into the starting XI to good effect last time out, so don't be surprised to see him play from the outset here. Neither side has reported any injuries ahead of this clash.

Morocco - USA Key Points

  1. The US men come into this game having scored seven goals in their last two games.
  2. Morocco's only clear-cut win came against very weak opposition.
  3. I'd argue that the US men have faced stronger opponents than the Moroccans have so far.
  4. No team in this tournament has scored more goals than the US so far.

Our Morocco vs USA Prediction

To be honest, I'm struggling to see why the Moroccans are as strongly fancied by the early market as they are. Sure, they won well last time out, but they weren't tested all that much, while they didn't create the most positive impression against the Ukrainians before that. In contrast, after being nowhere near as outplayed as the scoreline suggested against the tournament hosts on match-day one, the US team has looked very good indeed, especially going forward. They have lots of offensive options, while their end-product has been on point in each of their last two games. With the likes of Yow, Paredes and Mihailovic in good form, don't be surprised to see them cause what at the minute would be a minor betting upset. Our Prediction: USA to Win.

USA to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Odds +175
As a secondary pick, betting on the US to score at least a couple of goals in this match greatly appeals looking at the early lines. As touched on above, no team has scored more goals at this tournament, while the Moroccans have only kept a clean sheet against a very weak Iraq team. They looked poor defensively against both Argentina and Ukraine, so don't be surprised if the US thrive in the final third here.
