Form and Line-up Morocco
Morocco have played two strong matches and have not lost once. First came a draw with Brazil (1:1), followed by a clean-sheet win over Scotland (1:0). Mohamed Ouahbi's team have conceded only one goal in two games and picked up four points. In the group, Morocco are second, behind Brazil only on goal difference, and they continue to fight for first place.
Ouahbi took charge of the national team in March and quickly changed the emphasis. Morocco became braver in possession, pressed opponents higher up the pitch and used the flanks more often. Ismael Saibari made the biggest leap: Ouahbi moved him closer to the attack, and that immediately brought goals.
Physically, the third round may be tougher because the first two matches took a lot out of the team. There is a risk of rotation, but defeat could even leave Morocco third in the group. Therefore, a completely reserve line-up should not be expected. The main task is to break down the opposition defence quickly and avoid dragging the match into a nervy finish.
Key numbers:
No more than two goals have been scored in regulation time in seven of Morocco's last nine World Cup matches. Moreover, the national team did not concede in seven games during that run.
In two matches, Morocco have taken 26 shots but scored only two goals. In terms of play, there are enough chances; the question is finishing.
Against Scotland, Morocco completed 601 passes, a record for African national teams at World Cups since 1966.
Probable Morocco line-up
(4-3-3): Yassine Bounou - Achraf Hakimi, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, Noussair Mazraoui - Ayoub Bouaddi, Neil El Aynaoui, Azzedine Ounahi - Bilal El Khannouss, Ismael Saibari, Brahim Diaz.
Absentees: -.
Form and Line-up Haiti
Haiti have returned to the World Cup for the first time since 1974, but they have already lost their chances of reaching the playoffs. Two matches, two defeats: against Scotland (0:1) and Brazil (0:3). Sebastien Migne's team have not scored once and have conceded four goals. There is no tournament motivation left; all that remains is to play for reputation.
Physically, Haiti approach the third round in a difficult state. Two games without goals, a lot of defensive work and an opponent who will take the ball and control the space. To keep a clean sheet for a long time against Morocco, freshness and concentration are needed for all 90 minutes. Haiti may have problems with that, especially if the favourite starts aggressively from the opening minutes.
Key numbers:
Morocco and Haiti are meeting for the first time in history.
Haiti have lost three matches in a row, scoring only one goal during that run.
In seven of the last nine matches involving Haiti, the bet Both teams to score - No has landed.
Probable Haiti line-up
(4-2-3-1): Johny Placide - Martin Experience, Ricardo Ade, Hannes Delcroix, Carlens Arcus - Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Danley Jean Jacques - Ruben Providence, Josue Casimir, Louicius Deedson - Wilson Isidor.
Absentees: -.
