World Cup 2026 Betting Tip of the Day: Brahim Diaz to Lead the Way for Morocco
Ben McAleer
AFCON 2025 ended in dramatic fashion. Senegal claimed a 1-0 win over hosts Morocco as Pape Gueye’s injury time strike proved the difference between the two nations.
Brahim Diaz, though, missed a contentious second-half stoppage time penalty. The spotkick miss saw AFCON glory slip through Morocco’s fingers.
Regardless, the Real Madrid man shone at the tournament, scoring more goals (5) than any other player.
And with no Youssef En-Nesyri in the Morocco squad for the 2026 World Cup this time around, Diaz will again be expected to lead from the front.
Diaz is at 3/1 with LiveScore Bet to be Morocco’s top scorer at the 2026 World Cup*.
Domestically, the 26-year-old has struggled for consistency. However, he did what was required of him on the international stage at AFCON, final penalty miss aside.
