Match preview
Morocco carry the rating edge but it's not large. Either side could nick it.
Decimal fair odds from the model probabilities before bookmaker margin.
Why Morocco are favourites (44%)
- Morocco carry the higher Elo rating (110 points)
- Host-nation advantage — Canada playing at home
- Canada mixed recent form (2W 2D 1L)
- Morocco unbeaten in their last five (2W 3D)
- Head-to-head treated as neutral — too few recent meetings to weigh (10% of the blend)
These factors combine to produce the 34% / 22% / 44% verdict above.
Expected match pattern
Morocco should shade possession but the gap is small enough that midfield control will decide territory. With little between the sides on ratings, a set piece or an individual moment is the most likely difference — expect a competitive game where the first goal heavily shapes what follows.
Expected goals: Canada 1.1 · Morocco 1.5
