The Read

Tactical preview

Morocco's 3-2-5 ball dominance against Haiti's pressing bravery — a volatility mismatch. Haiti's attacking-third press will create a few genuine turnovers against Morocco's patient circulation, but every miss leaves Hakimi and Díaz running their right-side triangle at a retreating back four. If Morocco need goals for seeding or safety, this profiles as their most open fixture; Haiti's counters through Bellegarde and Isidor keep the scoreboard honest.

Key Duel

Brahim Díaz vs Haiti's recovery defense.

Watch For

Saibari's false-nine evolution; Nazon chasing Haiti's first WC goal since 1974; El Khannouss's role.

Margin Notes

Haiti's 1974 goal ended Dino Zoff's record shutout streak. Morocco can match 2022's group-stage points haul here.
