Canada have already made history by reaching the Round of 16, and home support could play a major role. Jesse Marsch's side have shown resilience throughout the tournament and continue to improve with every match, but this is their toughest test yet.
Morocco remain unbeaten and have once again demonstrated why they are one of the strongest international sides outside Europe's traditional elite. After eliminating the Netherlands, they arrive full of confidence, backed by a disciplined defence and dangerous attacking players capable of deciding tight knockout matches.
Canada should create chances, especially with the energy of the home crowd behind them, but Morocco's experience in high-pressure knockout football could prove decisive. Expect a competitive game with both teams having opportunities, though Morocco's composure and defensive organisation give them the edge to progress.
Prediction: Canada 1-2 Morocco
Best Bet: Morocco to Win
