A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : World: FIFA World Cup - Group C

An eventual 5th place finish in the South American CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table underlined Brazil’s continuing inconsistent streak even under the experienced and highly-rated national coach, Carlo Ancelotti, as the Selecao only just edged above 6th placed Paraguay on goal difference.
Since finally crossing the line in the race for an automatic place in this upcoming World Cup, Brazil have slipped to just two defeats in their subsequent eight international friendlies, losing to Japan and France, while also recording five wins.
However, Brazil managed to capture just three wins in their final eight matches in the CONMEBOL group stage along with being involved in three draws as well as being dealt defeats to Argentina and Bolivia.
Ancelotti must ensure Brazil shrug off their accustomed ‘slow-starters’ tag in this opening match in Group C.
By contrast, Morocco veritably sailed through their World Cup qualification in the African section as The Atlas Lions recorded a 100% winning record in Group E after winning all eight group matches which saw Mohamed Ouahbi’s side finish nine points clear at the top of the group.
Following automatic qualification for World Cup 2026, Morocco have continued their ominous looking form as they are now unbeaten in their subsequent 19 matches since taking Group E by storm and they will fancy their chances against this star-studded Brazil outfit.
In addition, Morocco have collected no fewer than 15 wins in the process, so Mohamed Ouahbi’s side look poised to take advantage of any complacency displayed from Brazil in this upcoming Group C opener.
The Betting Verdict
The previous meeting between Brazil and Morocco resulted in a 2-1 win for the African nation in an international friendly back in March 2023 but don’t be surprised if Morocco manage to at least hold their own against their heavily favoured opponents, if not grab a narrow victory.
The Pick :
Brazil 1-1 Morocco
