Tipped scorers: Saibari (Morocco) · El Kaabi (Morocco) · J. David (Canada)

Why we called it

Morocco (2022 semi-finalists, ranked ~7th) reached the last 16 by beating the Netherlands on penalties and are unbeaten in normal time; Bounou, Hakimi and the in-form Saibari — who scored in all three group games — carry more quality in the final third than a Canada side missing Koné and reliant on Jonathan David. The market makes Morocco clear but not overwhelming favourites (~-125), so I trim the margin to one goal: 2-1 Morocco, with El Kaabi leading the line and David keeping Canada in it.
