- Morocco vs Netherlands Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Inconsistent Dutch to Draw in Morocco
Morocco welcome the Netherlands to Agadir for a friendly international match on Wednesday – a fixture that was arranged to replace the postponed African Nations Cup game against Cameroon that was originally scheduled for that day. With the European domestic season having just finished, the friendly gives the players a chance to re-familiarize themselves with each other ahead of more important games.
Match Preview
Ahead of our Morocco vs Netherlands preview, the home side have won three of their last four fixtures, keeping three clean sheets in the process. Hervé Renard, who has been in charge on Morocco since February 2016, has moulded his troops into a difficult to beat unit. Morocco have lost just three times in eighteen games under his management.
- Morocco 1-0 Ivory Coast
- Egypt 1-0 Morocco
- Morocco 2-0 Burkino Faso
- Morocco 1-0 Tunisia
Coming into OddsDigger’s Morocco vs Netherlands predictions, the Dutch are in something of a crisis. The current generation of players is widely regarded as the worst in terms of quality they have had for decades. Holland have only won once in five games, and that victory came in a routine win over lowly Luxemburg.
Wednesday’s game is Dick Advocaat’s first game in charge since being re-appointed as Netherlands team manager at the start of the month. It’s his third term as Netherlands manager.
- Netherlands 1-1 Belgium
- Luxemburg 1-3 Netherlands
- Bulgaria 2-0 Netherlands
- Netherlands 1-2 Italy
Morocco vs Netherlands Prediction and Betting Advice
Our Morocco vs Netherlands tips have to consider the timing of this fixture. The Netherlands have a vital World Cup Qualifying game against Luxemburg in a couple of weeks and while their game against Morocco will be a useful runout, avoiding any injuries will be priority number one.
Although the Netherlands have superior quality all over the pitch than their hosts, I fancy Morocco to nick a draw in a game where the Dutch players will be playing at half speed.
