Team News
Morocco come into this game with a clean bill of health, leaving head coach Mohamed Ouahbi with a full complement to choose from.
The 49-year-old is sure to tap up the talents of his star; Brahim Diaz. The former Manchester City man is likely to be joined on the flanks by VfB Stuttgart’s Bilal El Khannouss.Â
Fenerbahce midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who spent last season on loan at Real Betis and once played for Manchester United, is among those likely to miss out. Ouahdi has favoured a youthful midfield of Lille starlet Ayyoub Bouaddi and Roma’s Neil El Aynaoui in Morocco’s opening two matches.
Haiti are likely to be without record goalscorer Duckens Nazon. The 44-goal national talisman is sidelined with an undisclosed injury. It has been reported that the striker has largely trained alone since the tournament opener against Scotland. Nazon missed the Brazil defeat with the unspecified ailment.
Elsewhere, Haiti boss Sebastien Migne has no other issues at press time. Wilson Isidor of Sunderland is in-line for a chance up front, while captain Johny Placide will lead the side out.

 Morocco vs Haiti Stats
- Morocco have scored in the opening 10 minutes of three of their last five games
- Haiti are seeking a first World Cup win in their sixth tournament outing. They lost three from three at the 1974 World Cup
Morocco to win to nil @ 4/5Â
Group C has been a rather low-scoring affair, with Brazil being the only side to score more than one goal in a game. That came in a 3-0 win over Haiti.
Scotland also beat Haiti to nil, securing a 1-0 victory over the minnows. Morocco look well-fixed to confine Haiti here. They have a solid defensive bedrock that will prove difficult to break.
With Haiti missing their all-time record goalscorer, it is hard to see where they break Ouahbi’s side down.Â

First goal time - 1-10 minutes @ 13/5
In three of their last five outings, Morocco have scored in the opening 10 minutes. Against a Haiti side who are considerably weaker, the Atlas Lions will surely look to push the accelerator early.
After Ismael Saibari’s second-minute goal against Scotland, Morocco proved adept at holding onto their lead for the remainder of the game. I feel like they’ll have more opportunities to increase their lead against Haiti, but I expect the trend of bagging an early goal will continue for Morocco.

Morocco vs Haiti Score Prediction - 3-0 @ 6/1
Haiti are in trouble here, I believe. Morocco have outstanding talents like Brahim Diaz in their number and the confidence of an admittedly-bizarre AFCON win behind them. Haiti have shown me little to suggest they can even find the net here. I'm backing a 3-0 Morocco victory.
