Netherlands vs Morocco Predicted Lineups & Team News

One of the most attractive of the World Cup last-32 ties takes place in Guadalajara as the 2010 finalists Netherlands face 2022 semi-finalists Morocco (Monday 7pm local, Tuesday 2am BST, ITV1) in a marquee clash at the Estadio Monterrey.

The Netherlands were Group F winners with something to spare, while Morocco were edged in Group C only on goal difference by Brazil. Both sides are unbeaten at the tournament so far, but one will find their journey ends in Guadalupe. Read on for the Netherlands vs Morocco predicted lineups and team news...

Netherlands vs Morocco Odds

Netherlands

Ornaje head coach Ronald Koeman appears to have a full complement to choose from as early worries that Denzel Dumfries and Brian Brobbey were carrying knocks have been put to rest.

Micky van de Ven missed the game with Tunisia, but the Tottenham Hotspur defender is expected to come back into the starting XI here, with Manchester City's Nathan Ake likely to drop out.

Morocco

Morocco made some changes for their 4-2 win over Haiti in Atlanta and it's probable that the likes of Noussair Mazraoui, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Azzedine Ounahi will be recalled, with head coach Mohamed Ouahbi seemingly having a squad free from injuries after the group stages.

Redouane Halhal impressed in that final group game in central defence, the 23-year-old gaining his first minutes of the tournament, though it remains to be seen if he can keep Fulham's Issa Diop on the sidelines.

Diop was cautioned in the win over Scotland and had a ban pending if he had collected another booking against the Haitians, but he played every minute of the first two games.

Netherlands vs Morocco Key Players

Ashraf Hakimi (Morocco)

A double Champions League winner with Paris Saint-Germain and last year's African footballer of the year, Ashraf Hakimi is in the conversation as the best right back in world football.

He captains his country and has scored 12 times, including against Haiti. He's rapidly closing in on becoming an international centurion and is the undoubted jewel in the Moroccan crown.

Solid in defence, Hakimi carries the fight to his opponents and is already into double figures for shots at goal in this World Cup with ten, more than any of his Moroccan teammates.

He also laid on the second goal for Ismael Saibari against the Caribbean nation and he's got a key role to play again.

Brian Brobbey (Netherlands)

Centre-forward perhaps remains an area of uncertainty for the Netherlands, Donyell Malen has twice started there but remains goalless and Sunderland's Brian Brobbey could take his place here.

The 24-year-old fired a double in the 5-1 win over Sweden and was on target after just seven minutes having started against Tunisia.

He has the physical attributes to lead the line and could usurp Roma's Malen, as well as veteran Wout Weghorst.
