THE TEAM NEWS
MOROCCO
Hakim Ziyech scored Morocco’s opening goal as they defeated Zambia in their final group stage match but the former Chelsea winger was then forced off at half-time so he is a doubt for this one against South Africa.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Bono; Hakimi, Ageurd, Abdelhamid, Attiat-Allah; Amrabat, Ounahi; Ziyech, Harit, Boufal; En-Nesyri
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Ziyech (Injured)
SOUTH AFRICA
Belgian coach, Hugo Broos, has a couple of injury concerns for this Round of 16 tie against the Moroccans as defender Khuliso Mudau is a doubt after being substituted at half-time of their clash last week.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Williams; Mobbie, Kekana, Xulu, Modiba; Mokoena, Sithole; Morena, Zwane, Tau; Makgopa
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Mudau (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Under the management of former Wydad Casablanca boss Walid Regragui, Morocco reached the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup just over 12 months ago and the Atlas Lions are aiming to win this tournament. They collected seven points from three group stage games without conceding in that time. They now face a South African side that lost their opener to Mali before thrashing Namibia and then sharing a goalless draw with Tunisia. Despite that improvement, Morocco are firm favourites for this one.
TIP: MOROCCO TO WIN
