Morocco will hope to beat Haiti tonight and capitalise on any slip-up from Brazil to secure top spot in World Cup Group C.
The 2022 semi-finalists have taken four points from their two games so far and only trail the five-time winners on goal difference.
Haiti have already been eliminated having failed to score in defeats to Scotland and Brazil.
A goal here would be a major achievement against the African champions, who are unbeaten in their last 31 matches across all competitions, winning 26 and drawing five.
