Spain takes on the visitors Morocco at “Kaliningrad Stadium” in the gameweek three of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The match will be played in Kaliningrad on Monday, June 25th.
Spain’s football philosophy is based on ball possession (70% against Iran and 62% against Portugal), however, such utter control over the ball doesn’t lead to a spectacular attacking football. Although the side has managed to score three goals in the opening tackle against Portugal, still, such effectiveness near the opposite goalposts was mainly a result of the defense’s mistakes. And now the Spaniards have substantially improved their play in terms of team discipline, organization of game and sustainability of defense. 1:0 victory over Iran is a superb evidence of the mentioned above as "Persian Stars" have managed to make only three shots on targets. Despite Spain’s football style which implies a victory with one- or two-goal margin and without goals conceded as well as despite only three goals conceded in 10 tackles conducted within the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, the upcoming hosts cannot be named the defensive side.

Although Morocco has already lost any chances to join the Play Offs, still, it will not play on lose in the last encounter at this tournament. Like their opponent, the Africans also build their football on ball possession (54% against Portugal and 64% against Iran). “Igrzamn n Atlasi” have outstanding potential in attack in face of 10 top-class performers, nevertheless, it is not so easy to find a place at the pitch for each of them or to force them to perform play as a team as the problems with a discipline is a common trouble of all African sides. At the same time, the Morocco demonstrates fantastic toughness in defense, having conceded not a single goal in six battles of the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, on average one goal for three encounters in the Africa Cup of Nations as well as two goals in two tackles of the current Mundial.
Spain will not settle for less than a victory in the forthcoming clash as it will tend to qualify to the Play Offs from the first position in the group standings in order to leave behind the principal rival – Portugal while it is going to the last Morocco’s appearance at this Mundial.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win.
