Morocco-Haiti analysis


If the Dutch manage to secure the group victory next night, Morocco will be the next World Cup opponent. This is because Ismael Saibari's team does not beat Haiti (4-2) by enough to overtake Brazil on goal difference. Analysis of a duel where Achraf Hakimi dominates with his deep spurts. After the victory over Scotland, Morocco is almost assured of a place in the top two in Group C. That is why national coach Mohamed Ouahbi uses the match against underdog Haiti to make quite a few adjustments - no fewer than four in his starting eleven, in fact. He decides to do this for two different reasons. On the one hand, the Moroccan national coach is still trying to win the group. After the big result at Brazil-Haiti (3-0), his team needs a lot of goals to pass De Divine Canaries on goal difference for a group win - and thus avoid a likely confrontation with the Dutch team. That is why we do not see Ismael Saibari starting as a false striker this time, but as an attacking midfielder. At the point of attack, room has been made available for experienced goalkeeper Ayoub El Kaabi (Olympiakos). On the other hand, the four changes in the Moroccan starting eleven are also simply because of freshness. The intensity of De Atlasleeuwen dropped considerably in the last half hour against both Brazil and Scotland. Ouahbi seems to recognize this by now rotating considerably. Morocco and Haiti provide a very entertaining match in the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. And if the Dutch team wins the group, Saibari is not the only man who national coach Ronald Koeman has to fear for his running.
