Ukraine vs Morocco Prediction: Ukraine could shock Morocco

The Olympic Football Games continue, and in a round 2 encounter, Ukraine will play Morocco at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. How will this game end? Below, we will look into the previews of this game and make betting opportunities available.

Ukraine will be disappointed with how things ended against Iraq in their opener. However, this team will be focused on doing better here even though the odds do not favor them. In the opening encounter, Ukraine had 55 percent of the possession, creating 11 goalscoring attempts compared to their opponent's five, while five were on target. While they took the lead in the 53rd minute of the game, Ukraine took the lead through Valentyn Rubchunskyi's strike but then went on to concede twice consecutively. Heading into this game, Ukraine are seated in the bottom spot of the Group B standings.

Morocco will look to keep things running from where they stopped, having defeated Argentina in their opener. In that encounter, Morocco scored in the 45+2 minute of the first half, thanks to Soufiane Rahimi's strike. However, just 6 minutes into the second half, they doubled their advantage this time, Soufiane Rahimi scoring from the spot. While Argentina pulled one back in that encounter before the end of the second half, that was not enough to deny Morocco a win in that game. Morocco take the first spot in Group B heading into this game and will look to keep things going. 

Morocco started their Olympics strongly, while Ukraine fumbled their chances to start with a win. However, Ukraine looked good, provided they could hold their possession skill once more while being decent in attack. While Morocco will feel confident, thanks to their opening game, I believe their chances of winning are good but can not be trusted. Expect both teams to get on the scoresheet here, but a point shared will be a good option to consider.
