Morocco vs Spain LIVE! World Cup 2022 match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today

The last quarterfinal of 2022 World Cup will be decided today with fewer matches in the entire tournament with more intrigue than the encounter between Morocco and Spain. Unfancy as they traveled to Qatarthe incredibly well-supported Atlas Lions may have been the surprise of the winter.

Leading a group of Belgium, Croatia and Canada was no small feat for Morocco, but they can take it a step further this afternoon by beating Spain to reach the last eight of a World Cup for the first time in their history. That in itself is of course not an easy task.

Luis Enrique will welcome back some star players to the Spain team in Al Rayyan after several were rested following a shock defeat to Japan that saw them finish second in Group E, although some would say the draw favored them.
