The 2022 FIFA World Cup is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Morocco take on Roberto Martinez's Belgium outfit in a Group F fixture at the Al Thumama Stadium on Sunday.
Belgium vs Morocco Preview
Morocco are currently in third place in Group F and did well in their first game of the tournament. The African outfit held Croatia to a 0-0 stalemate this week and will need to work hard to pull off an upset in this fixture.
Belgium, on the other hand, are at the top of their group at the moment and were uninspiring in their first game of the competition. The Red Devils were arguably outplayed by Canada in their 1-0 victory and will need to find their feet this weekend.

Belgium vs Morocco Prediction
Belgium were shellshocked by Canada's inspired performance this week and were arguably lucky to win their opening game of the competition. The likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard were not at their best on the day and will need to step up to the plate to bolster the Red Devils' credentials in the tournament.
Morocco held their ground admirably against Croatia but will be up against a Belgian side with more firepower in their ranks. The European outfit is the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Belgium 2-0 Morocco
