Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Morocco will look to keep their 100% record in Group E intact when they face Congo at Stade Adrar on Tuesday evening. The Atlas Lions defeated Zambia at the weekend to retain top position in the standings and they are considered hot favourites to beat Congo as well. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Hakim Ziyech, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Ayoub El Kaabi, who helped Olympiacos clinch the Conference League trophy last month, is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. The Red Devils, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Zambia, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the Group E leaders. A man to watch in the home team will be Young Boys forward Silvere Ganvoula.
Highlighted Team (Morocco):
Morocco, the Atlas Lions, are the first African team to win a group at the World Cup finals. Back in 1986 the team managed to finish the group stages above Portugal, Poland and England, but West Germany proved to be a big catch for the Moroccan national team in the last 16 of the tournament.
The Atlas Lions participated at the World Cup finals on four occasions, but winning of the 1976 African Cup of Nations is considered the team’s biggest success. Morocco were producing outstanding displays at the tournament in Ethiopia and it has to be noted that they defeated Guinea in the title game.
Morocco play their home games at Stade Adrar and Stade de Marrakech and they wear red shirts and green shorts when playing in front of home fans. A number of top-class footballers played for Morocco in the past, but Mustafa Hadji is certainly the biggest star who played for the Moroccan national team.
