Morocco to win (90 mins)
Morocco became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar four years ago, and they'll be hoping to match that run in North America.
The Atlas Lions have won two and drawn two so far at this tournament, and while Canada could pose a challenge, particularly if they start well, Morocco have won both previous meetings with Marsch's side, the most previous being in Qatar, which resulted in a 2-1 win.
Canada have created history themselves at this tournament, by progressing from the group stages for the first time, but they were fortunate against South Africa, needing a 92nd-minute winner to get past Bafana Bafana.
Morocco have more quality all over the pitch, so I fully expect them to win in 90 minutes.
Achraf Hakimi to have 2+ shots on target (Sub Switch)
Archraf Hakimi is obviously one of Morocco's star players, and he's certainly the man to back in the shots market.
The Paris Saint-Germain full-back operates 'officially' on the right-side of the defence but at times finds himself closer to the number 10 position, and he's averaging 3.00 shots per 90 minutes, racking up 13 attempts so far this tournament with one goal to his name.
The 27-year-old should get plenty of opportunities to chances to test the Canada goalkeeper, and 4/1 looks a decent price for him to have 2+ shots on target.

Richie Laryea to be carded (Sub Switch)
Finally, I'm going to back Canada left-back Richie Laryea to get booked.
The 31-year-old, who plies his trade for Toronto FC, hasn't been cautioned so far this tournament, but it's fair to say he hasn't faced a test like the one he potentially will against Morocco.
Hakimi and Brahim Diaz operate the right-flank for the Atlas Lions, and have combined well so far, drawing 19 fouls between them across just four matches.
Laryea has committed six fouls already, which is more than any other Canada player, and could be caught out on Saturday, finding his way into the referee's notebook.
