Sudan vs Morocco prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Sudan and Morocco square off at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Friday in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
They're hoping to put a victory on the board before closing out their campaign.
The Falcons of Jediane are currently at the bottom of Group I with just two points from four games, which they accumulated following back-to-back draws with Guinea last month.
However, it wasn't enough for them to challenge Morocco, who have already sealed their place in the next round, boasting a 100% win record.
The Atlas Lions have cruised through the qualifying campaign so far, inspired by the red-hot form of Ayoub El Kaabi.
The Hatasypor forward has struck four times, which is the joint-most in the African zone behind only Algeria's Islam Slimani (6).
Sudan vs Morocco Head-To-Head
Morocco have won exactly half of their previous eight clashes with Sudan, losing none.
In the reverse fixture in September, the Atlas Lions secured a 2-0 victory.
💪🏻 Back out on the grass for today's training session!
