Estonia takes on the visitors Morocco at "A. Le Coq Arena" in a friendly match. The game will be played in Tallinn on Saturday, June 9th.
Estonia conceded 19 goals in eight tackles conducted within the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, having won only one of them excluding battles against Gibraltar. The side scored not a single goal in two unofficial clashes against Armenia and Georgia this March. Last week the Estonians participated in the Baltic Cup, having beaten Lithuania and failed against Latvia. Clearly, the coaching staff of Estonia was focused precisely on the Baltic Cup as after the tournament many key performers left the training camp. Thus, upcoming hosts will use an experimental squad against Morocco. Half of the footballers are from the Estonian Meistriliiga and another half perform abroad, mainly in Finland.

Meanwhile, in six days Morocco will debut in the final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia with a crucial fight against Iran as in case of a failure its chances for promotion from the group turn from tiny to almost none. Thus, it's clear that the coaching staff will bring the footballers at the peak of their competitive form precisely to the first battle of the group stage. Consequently, the team is close to its optimal conditions at this moment. Progress/development of “Igrzamn n Atlasi” is obvious as they earned only 0:0 against Ukraine in May while last week the side broke solid Slovakia with 2:1 scoreline. “Igrzamn n Atlasi” collected 10 victories, two draws against Ukraine and Albania plus single defeat from the Netherlands in the friendlies under the rule of Herve Renard. Moreover, eight out of those 13 encounters were finished in clean sheets gained by Morocco which had scored 22 goals in them (or 1.69 goals per game on average). However, the upcoming friendly clash is more for raising spirit of the team on the eve of the Mundial rather than for working out some tactical aspects. Otherwise, it's not clear for what reason Morocco has chosen such an opponent as Estonia.
Morocco looks stronger than Estonia in all aspects - not only in personal mastery of the players, but also in team’s organization, consequently, “Igrzamn n Atlasi” must prove their supremacy with a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Morocco to win.
