Guinea vs Morocco prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Morocco and Guinea square off at the Stade Adrar in Agadir on Tuesday in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
The Atlas Lions are just a point away from confirming their place in the final round. They've won all three of their games so far and hold a five-point lead at the top of Group I with a game in hand.
Vahid Halilhodzic's side routed Guinea-Bissau 8-0 on aggregate over two legs earlier in the week, but Guinea will be a tougher test for them. Having drawn all their games so far, the National Elephants, too, are unbeaten, although their chances of progressing into the next round are slim.
The West African outfit must win all their remaining fixtures and also hope that Morocco drop points further down the road. Nevertheless, it promises to be a tough encounter between two sides undefeated in their last couple of games.
Guinea vs Morocco Head-To-Head
Morocco have a terrific record against Guinea, winning six of their previous 14 encounters. In their last meeting, the Atlas Lions secured a thrilling 3-2 victory at the 2018 African Nations Championship.
