Morocco Squad and Predicted Lineup Against Spain in the Round of 16

The Moroccan army is at its peak. They could be the biggest threat to Spain. Their defenders like Hakimi, Aguerd, Mazraoui looking in great form. Midfield is also amazing in the form of Amallah and Amrabat. What I most like about them is their attack. They have perfect finishers in the form of Ziyech and En-Nesyri which most of the teams are lacking such as Spain. This Moroccan squad will be very tough for Spain as they are strong in every part of the ground.

Spain Squad and Predicted Lineup Against France in the Round of 16

Once looking undefeated Spain literally struggled in the last two matches. How Spain performed against Costa Rica was an exceptional performance from them in this group matches. Never thought Spain could even finish in the second spot. Spain will definitely try to come back in the round of 16 to show the world that they are still the toughest side in this tournament. Their gameplay is really awesome. Their opposition literally struggles to touch the ball. They completely dominate their opponent by keeping the ball in possession. Once they lose the ball possession, all of their players will be seen in super active mode till they get back possession again. But one thing in which Spain is struggling is scoring a goal. They are lacking in the perfect finishing. In this knockout match, they will definitely come up with a master plan and have the capability to execute it perfectly.

Spain might play in 4-3-3 formation

Defenders: Alba, Laporte, Rodri, Azpilicueta

Mid-fielders: Pedri, Busquets, Gavi
