Tactical matchup

Netherlands line up in a 4-3-3, Morocco in a 4-5-1. Netherlands will expect the bulk of possession and the task of breaking down a compact block, while Morocco are likely to defend deeper and look to spring Chemsdine Talbi and Ayyoub Bouaddi on the counter. Whether Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners can dictate tempo will shape how open the game becomes. In a knockout tie the first goal and set pieces carry outsized weight, with caution often trumping early ambition.
