Morocco v Portugal kick-off time, TV and streaming information, team news, betting odds and more

Morocco take on Portugal this weekend in the quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup.

The African side have been the surprise package of the World Cup and sent Spain packing in the round of 16.

Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the Portugal side in the last 16, with his replacement Goncalo Ramos smashing in a stunning hat-trick, the first World Cup knockout round hat-trick since Tomáš Skuhravý in 1990.

Here's what you need to know:

Venue

Al Thumama Stadium

Date

Saturday, December 10th.

Kick-off time

3pm

TV and streaming information

RTE 2 and ITV1 will be showing the game live. Streaming for Irish viewers is available on the RTE Player.

Fernando Santos on Ronaldo

"I have a very close relationship with him - I always have, I have known him since he was 19 years old.

"This relationship only develops, Ronaldo and I never interpret the human aspect of that of manager and player (in relation to) what we have to do during the match.

"I will always consider in my role that he is an important player to have in the team."

Team news

Ronaldo was dropped for the last 16 and it is unlikely that he will start in the quarter-finals especially after Goncalo Ramos's stunning hat-trick.

Betting odds

Portugal - 4/6

Draw - 12/5

Morocco - 9/2
