Few moments give a team complete control of its destiny — Morocco are in one now. After a strong start in Group C (a draw with Brazil and a win over Scotland), the Atlas Lions need a positive result against Haiti to confirm their place in the round of 32. No complex maths, no waiting on others: do it yourself.
Where Morocco stand
Four points from two games leaves them perfectly placed. A win not only secures qualification but could even top the group if Brazil slip. Haiti, all but out, will play without pressure — and pressure-free sides can be dangerous.
Verdict: Morocco are clear favourites, and the 2022 semi-final run has raised both ambition and mentality. This is a side that no longer just wants to take part. One step from the next round — and we back them to take it.
