Morocco caused quite a stir in Qatar last year, becoming the first African side to make it to a World Cup semi-final. Manager Walid Regragui will be confident in the quality of players such as Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi, but having won four of their last six games, expectations are running high. Will The Atlas Lions crumble under the pressure?

This is set to be Tanzania’s third appearance at the African Cup of Nations. The 2019 competition was a disappointment for The Taifa Stars as they lost all three opening matches and were knocked out. However, fans adore manager Adel Amrouche and his tactics, which accommodate POAK striker Mbwana Samatta. Can the underdogs make it out of the group?

Morocco XI: Bounou; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Chibi; Ounahi, Amrabat, Amallah; Ziyech, Ezzalzouli, En-Nesyri

Tanzania XI: Manula; Mnoga, Miroshi, Hamad, Nondo; Hussein, Mao, Abbas, M’Mombwa; Samatta, Allarakhia
