Morocco Predicted Lineup & News
Morocco (4-2-3-1) Yassine Bounou; Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, Adam Masina, Noussair Mazraoui; Sofyan Amrabat, Neil El Aynaoui; Brahim Diaz, Ismael Saibari, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli; Ayoub El Kaabi
Romain Saiss picked up a hamstring injury against Comoros and remains doubtful. Expect Adam Masina to continue partnering Nayef Aguerd in central defence.
Sofyan Amrabat came off the bench against Cameroon and could return to the starting side here.
Verdict
Morocco have been reliant on Brahim Diaz at AFCON while Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams have combined to score nine goals. The home crowd could be silenced in Rabat where the Super Eagles can spoil the party.
