Morocco, the favorites in the Africa Cup of Nations, aim to move closer to the knockout stages by facing Congo DR at Stade Laurent Pokou this Sunday afternoon. In the same Group F, Zambia and Tanzania will also clash in a match at the same venue immediately following the showdown between the current group leaders.
Romain Saiss, a pivotal figure in the Moroccan defense, showcased his versatility on Wednesday by scoring for his team. Unfortunately, his defensive partner Noussair Mazraoui missed the midweek game due to injury and remains uncertain for the upcoming match.
Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored the final goal in the previous match, is expected to lead the attacking line again on Sunday. Sofiane Boufal, who came off the bench last time, is hopeful for a spot in the starting lineup.
Congo DR's Yoane Wissa, a Brentford attacker, secured the lone goal against Zambia and will once again lead the attack alongside Galatasaray forward Cedric Bakambu. Meschak Elia, who performed well as a substitute for Gael Kakuta, might earn a spot in the starting eleven. Additionally, Simon Banza, a forward from Braga, is vying for a starting role after playing just 10 minutes in the midweek game.
