The home side edged past Benin in Group J with 11 points to their name. They have secured two wins in their last two qualifying games and are in good form at the moment.

GK
The young keeper has been only featured in 2 international games but is given the nod to start against DR Congo.
DEF
Hakimi is crucial for Morocco to beat DR Congo. He has been at his usual best scoring 1 goal in the qualifiers.
Masuaku will feature as a left wing-back, a position that he thrives in. He will look to put in some wicked crosses.
MID
After getting a Goal in the last game versus Egypt, Boufal will look to get another one against a shaky Congo defence.
Kakuta has 2 goals from 12 matches for the national team. An advanced position should help his attacking game.
ST
El Kaabi is Morocco’s best attacking player with great stats in both international and domestic games.
Dieumerci Mbokani
Mbokani has scored 4 goals and also provided 2 assists in this year’s qualifiers. Congo will be hoping that he will continue his good form for the playoffs.
