Morocco - DR Congo: Form Analysis
Morocco kicked of their Africa Cup of Nations campaign in the best way possible as they overcame Tanzania 3-0. Romain Saiss gave his side the lead in the first half, while Azzedine Ounahi and Youssef En-Nesyri also got on the scoresheet after Novatus Miroshi was sent off with 20 minutes left in the game. That result extended The Atlas Lions’ excellent recent record to four wins in a row while they are now unbeaten in their last six. They have also scored two or more goals in each of their last four games, and last tasted defeat against South Africa during qualifying for this competition back in mid-June. These sides met last March in World Cup qualifying and drew the first match 1-1 before Morocco sealed a 4-1 victory at home. Unsurprisingly, The Atlas Lions are the clear favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, Congo DR went into their opening match of the tournament as underdogs against Zambia but managed to dig out a result, ending the match level at 1-1. Brentford forward Yoane Wissa scored the only goal for Congo to level the match after Kings Kangwa opened the scoring. However, with that result, The Leopards are now winless in their last four matches in all competitions. During that time, they were beaten 1-0 by Sudan and 2-1 by Burkina Faso, while they were held to a 0-0 draw by Angola in a friendly at the start of the year. On the road, Congo have also failed to win any of their last four matches, and were shut out in three of them, scoring only once against New Zealand in October. The Leopards will have to be at their absolute best to get anything from this one.

Morocco & DR Congo Squad Analysis
Noussair Mazraoui missed the opening match of the competition, and head coach Walid Regragu confirmed in the week that the Bayern Munich player is likely to miss this match as well due to a setback in his recovery. Riyad Mahrez had a quiet outing in his first match and will be hoping to open his account this time, while Youssef En-Nesyri looked very good in the first game and could be the biggest danger to Congo DR in this one.
Congo DR have no injury problems to report and are likely to field an unchanged 11 in this match. The team will once again look to the Premier League star Yoane Wissa to provide the spark at the top end of the pitch, while Galatasaray attacker Cedric Bakambu will look to try and register his first goal of the competition, though it will not be an easy task against the likes of Romain Saiss and Nayef Aguerd.
