Guinea-Bissau and Morocco will meet once again on Saturday for the reverse fixture of their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Goals from Achraf Hakimi, debutant Imran Louza, Ilias Chair, Ayoub El Kaabi and Munir El Haddadi comfortably saw off their West African rivals.
With two wins from as many games in the campaign, Vahid Halilhodzic's side are currently at the top of Group I with six points. They'll be aiming to make it three in a row at the weekend.
The Djurtus are looking to pick themselves up on home soil and gain some revenge for the first-leg humiliation.

After being battered on Wednesday, head coach Baciro Cande is expected to make a few changes as the Djurtus look to salvage themselves on home soil.
Saudi Arabia-based Piqueti Silva might replace Mama Balde in the XI. The inexperienced Fali Cande might have to make way for Rudinilson Silva.

Morocco
Despite the convincing victory, the Atlas Lions may not make too many changes to their side.
Guinea-Bissau are still only two points behind them in the group and would want to avoid any slip-ups in that case.
Yet, Sevilla forward Munir El Haddadi made a strong case for a start by scoring their fifth goal after coming off the bench.

Guinea-Bissau vs Morocco Prediction
Revenge will be on Guinea-Bissau's mind but they have to produce a much better performance than last time to achieve that.
The Atlas Lions are packed to the rafters with quality options all over the pitch. Although it may not be as easy as it was on Wednesday, Vahid Halilhodzic's side should still see them off.
Prediction: Guinea-Bissau 0-2 Morocco
