Morocco
- Morocco have not lost any of their five matches in all competitions (W3, D2) and are managed by Mohamed Ouahbi since March 2026.
- Morocco sit second in the Group C standings with one point from one game.
- Since the appointment of Mohamed Ouahbi in March 2026, the Atlas Lions have been playing a possession-based and structured game with plenty of technical quality in midfield, high full-backs and a flexible 4-2-3-1 formation.
- They dictate the tempo in the game and it is likely that they will control the game and possess the ball for long periods against Haiti.
- It is difficult to find much game in Morocco's opening game 1-1 draw with Brazil in Group C of the 2026 World Cup in the USA if you look only at the result.
- But the Atlas Lions' resolve and character to hold off Brazil, not to mention the way they got the first goal in the second half, made it a positive first result.
Haiti
- Haiti have won only once, drawn once and lost three of their previous five games in all competitions.
- Haiti are fourth after their opening game with no points.
- Now they take on Haiti, who are without a point or goal after a 1-0 defeat to Scotland at the weekend.
- But the Caribbean nation has a pragmatic coach in Sébastien Migné who has been setting up his teams to be tough to break down since taking over in March 2024.
- The Haitians will be disciplined in their low-block defensive structure, which allows them to counter attack quickly and press selectively when they win the ball back.
Key Players
- Achraf Hakimi is the creative playmaker that makes Morocco tick with his 3 assists in their last five matches, while Ismael Saibari is enjoying a good spell in front of goal with a strike in the opener against Brazil.
- Brahim Diaz, who had one assist in the World Cup, is their creative heartbeat and the team's heartbeat in general.
- Wilson Isidor is Haiti's main scoring threat with two goals in their six games and brings a more physical threat to their front line.
- But he may not get much service if Morocco dominate possession, which seems likely.
Betting Insights
Backing 'Both teams to score - No' at 1.69 looks a good alternative bet as Haiti are likely to be frustrated by the better team and struggle to score while Morocco's backline looks solid.
Prediction
Morocco should win, but given their superior form and squad, the odds on the odds for Morocco to win are too short.
