Match Analysis
Morocco hold a slight edge over Canada in this Round of 16 clash at Houston Stadium. Brahim Diaz's mobility between lines, Morocco's historical head-to-head advantage and strong midfield stamina are the decisive factors. Canada are missing Ismael Kone after emergency surgery, though Alphonso Davies' return improves the left flank. Houston heat and penalty pressure make this volatile. Medium confidence.
