Morocco go into their game against Tanzania as clear favorites. The numbers back it up, and the Atlas Lions have shown in recent months that they are among the strongest teams on the African continent.
The Moroccans have built an impressive run, with solid results and a strong defensive record. Their status is also underlined by their position in international rankings and the quality they have across the squad, with many players performing at the highest level in Europe.
Tanzania, meanwhile, face a tough task. They arrive as underdogs and will need a near-perfect performance to cause an upset. Their recent results show a team that can compete, but not one that usually dominates matches against top sides.
For Morocco, the message is clear: anything other than a win would be a surprise. With their form, their experience and their depth, they are expected to control the game and take the three points.
All eyes will be on whether the Atlas Lions can turn that advantage on paper into a convincing result on the pitch, while Tanzania will hope to stay in the contest and take their chance if one comes.
