Monday’s Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Netherlands vs. Morocco
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Netherlands (-120) vs. Morocco (+190) | Draw (+500) | O/U 2.5 (-134/+110)
The best matchup of the day might be the finale on Monday. The Netherlands, ranked No. 7 in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, faces Morocco, the No. 6-ranked team. This should be a knockdown, drag-out fight in Guadalupe, Mexico.
The Netherlands slid past Japan in Group F with seven points, while Morocco managed seven points in Group C, but it lost out to Brazil on goal differential. Still, the Atlas Lions were outstanding in group play. They are looking for another deep run, similar to their 2022 run in Qatar, when they finished fourth.
Brian Brobbey led the Oranje attack with three goals in group play, while Cody Gakpo and Crysencio Summerville each found the net twice. The Netherlands had five different scorers in the first three matches, with Jan Paul van Hecke and Virgil van Dijk also scoring.
Morocco was led by Ismael Saibari, who plays his club soccer in Holland with PSV Eindhoven. He scored three times in group play, while Achraf Hakimi, Soufiane Rahimi and Gessime Yassine accounted for the other goals in the group stage.
In the end, the Netherlands might be a touch deeper, but expect this to be close. A draw is too hard to pass up, especially for a potential 5X return. This one could be decided on penalties.
Picks: Method of Victory - Either Team in Penalty Shootout (+500) & Under 2.5 Goals (-142)
