Why you should back Morocco

Many of the teams competing at the Summer Games have underwhelmed since their rosters are predominantly made up of U-23 players. Morocco, who have been coming up in international soccer in recent years, isn’t one of them. The Atlas Lions topped Group B with a 2-0-1 record, scoring six goals and only conceding three times through three matches.

Morocco’s defense could use some fine-tuning, but their offense has been on fire. Forward Soufiane Rahimi leads the way with four goals so far in the tournament, while Real Betis star Abde Ezzalzouli found the back of the net in a 3-0 victory against Iraq. The expert is expecting this side to fight for possession and take a ton of shots with their offense playing such a key role in their current success. See which team to pick here

Why you should back USA

While the Moroccans prefer to play up their offense, Eimer expects the Americans to play a more clinical game. Marko Mitrovic’s side has impressed since falling 3-0 to France in their opening match, and they have gotten goals from up and down their lineup.

Five different players have contributed the seven goals the Americans have scored since suffering defeat in the opener, which gives this team an added boost as they go up against the slightly favored Atlas Lions. Goalkeeper Patrick Schulte recorded his first Olympic shoutout in his last outing, making six saves in the 3-0 victory over Guinea. See which team to pick here
