Netherlands vs Morocco Preview
Recent results
After drawing 2-2 with Japan in their opener, the Netherlands secured top spot in Group F with back-to-back victories over Sweden (5-1) and Tunisia (3-1). Ronald Koeman’s men appear to have rediscovered their best form, and the Dutch have not lost a World Cup match outside of penalty shootouts since the 2010 final vs Spain. What a record!
Morocco finished second in Group C, behind Brazil on goal difference only. The Atlas Lions beat Scotland (1-0) and Haiti (4-2) in their final first-round matches after recording a credible 1-1 draw with Brazil at the very start of the tournament.
Head-to-head record
Netherlands and Morocco clashed at the 1994 World Cup in the USA, with the Dutch claiming a 2-1 victory.
The most recent meeting in May 2017 also went 2-1 in favour of the European nation.

Netherlands vs Morocco Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.91
These two sides have played a combined total of six matches at World Cup 2026, with this pick landing in five of them. Morocco’s 1-0 victory over Scotland is the only outlier, though much of that was down to the Tartan Army’s fear of leaving space to exploit. Netherlands should play a far more expansive game given their undoubted quality, potentially paving the way for another goal-filled affair.
Player to score or assist – Ismael Saibari @ 2.77
Saibari is enjoying a magnificent World Cup, with the PSV Eindhoven forward scoring in each of Morocco’s three group games. He is a man in form, and backing a man in form often proves to be a wise decision in the sports betting world. And with the Netherlands failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches, Saibari can once again shine on sport’s biggest stage.
Player to score or assist – Brian Brobbey @ 2.20
Brobbey has been a revelation since being handed starting responsibility by Koeman. The Sunderland striker scored twice in the big win over Sweden, and netted again vs Tunisia. His physical style of play makes him a nightmare for defenders, as well as a stellar pick in this pre-match market.
