Haiti vs. Morocco Prediction

Give Haiti credit for making the field. They hung tough against Scotland and played well in the second half against Brazil. Granted, the match was out of hand by that point in time but they didn't fold. Morocco is tied for the top spot in the group with Brazil though Brazil owns a better goal differential at +3 to +1. The Atlas Lions were stifling defensively against Scotland, holding the Tartan Army without a shot for just the second time in their World Cup history. Haiti closes out their World Cup run here on a down note as Morocco wins convincingly.

Our Prediction: Morocco -2.5 (DraftKings, +140)
