If Morocco has punched its ticket for the World Cup for a long time, the path that leads to America seems strewn with pitfalls. Walid Regragui’s selection has indeed lost its emblematic and essential leader, Achraf Hakimi, victim of a serious sprain after a killer tackle from Luis Diaz during the Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich last week (1-2).
It is therefore an entire people who are trembling just over a month before the start of the African Cup of Nations, of which Morocco is the host country. And the infirmary is well stocked in the Moroccan ranks since in addition to Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd, another senior member of the Atlas Lions, is also on the flank. If Morocco will therefore seek to maintain its winning momentum and refine its automatisms against Mozambique this Friday, the major objective will be very clear in the new renovated stadium in Tangier: to avoid any new tiles.
The expected compositions
Poland: Dragowski; Wisniewski, Kedziora, Kiwior; Cash, Slisz, Zielinski, Skoras; Szymanski, Lewandowski, Kaminski.
The Netherlands : Verbruggen; Dumfries, Timber, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, De Jong; Malen, Kluivert, Gakpo; Memphis
Where to watch the match?
