2. Favourites and odds

This will be the fifth World Cup finals for Morocco but only once have they progressed beyond the group stages and that was back in 1986, when they reached the Round of 16. Their last appearance in the World Cup was 20 years ago and despite defeating Scotland 3-0 and ending the group stage on 4 points, they were eliminated from the tournament.

This has an impact on Morocco vs Iran odds. A similar victory over Iran, as they achieved against Scotland at France 98, would be very welcome and Morocco come into the match as the favourites, priced at 5/4 with bet365.

During qualifying, Morocco were placed in a group with Ivory Coast, Gabon and Mali and given little chance of progressing to the World Cup. However, their defence was superb and they kept a clean sheet in all 6 of their matches to finish top of the group, 4 points clear of Ivory Coast.

Iran match Morocco in making it to their fifth World Cup finals but they have failed to make it out of the group stages once.

Their last appearance was in the 2014 World Cup and they finished bottom of a group containing Argentina, Nigeria, and Bosnia Herzegovina. Iran did manage to pick up a point, which came from a 0-0 draw with Nigeria in their first game of the group but they went on to lose to Argentina and Bosnia.

Iran really need to get a win from this game if they have any hope of getting out of this group and are available at 13/5 to defeat Morocco. However, perhaps the best they can hope for is a point and the draw is on offer with odds at 19/10 with bet365.

3. Marocco vs Iran predictions

What are Morocco vs Iran betting tips? As highlighted above, Morocco were superb defensively in qualifying and their back line is marshalled by Juventus central defender, Mehdi Benatia. Their World Cup campaign is sure to be based on their defence and you can get 12/5 for Morocco to win the match without conceding a goal.

Iran’s qualifying success was also based on a sound defence and they kept 12 consecutive clean sheets on their way to Russia. Therefore, we could see few goals in this match and Morocco to win 1-0 is available at 5/1 with bet365.

Morocco have an experienced team and will be hopeful Juventus’s Mehdi Benatia plus Karim El Ahmadi and M’barek Boussoufa are fully fit for the tournament.

Iran will need the striker, Sardar Azmoun, to be firing on all cylinders if they are to cause an upset in this group. The Ruben Kazan forward was Iran’s top scorer in qualifying.
