Morocco’s qualification push vs Haiti’s farewell
Morocco have been one of the tournament’s most impressive sides. Unbeaten across their first two matches, they drew 1-1 with Brazil in a controlled performance that showcased their defensive resilience, before Ismail Saibari’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Scotland. It was Saibari’s second consecutive goal in two matches, confirming him as the breakout performer of the Atlas Lions’ campaign.
Coach Walid Regragui has the luxury of knowing his side only needs a positive result here, but the 2022 semi-final runners-up will not take Haiti lightly. Selection-wise, some rotation is expected. Andres Ounahi and Brahim Díaz are likely to be rested, making way for young players. Chemsdine Talbi is expected to earn his first start of the competition. Bilal El Khannous retains his midfield role. Achraf Hakimi is expected to continue from right-back despite the less demanding opposition.
Haiti return to Atlanta having been eliminated after their third consecutive defeat — a 3-0 loss to Brazil on Match Day 2. Their campaign, which marked a return to the World Cup after 52 years, ended without a point. Wilson Isidor and Dominique Simon are expected to be rested, with the squad rotating to give minutes to fringe players and allow key individuals to recover.
Morocco are the dominant force in this final group fixture on every measurable metric: form, squad quality, tournament record, and motivation. Haiti’s only realistic goal is to finish with some dignity and perhaps find a consolation goal before the tournament ends for them.

Our prediction
This is as one-sided a Match Day 3 fixture as it gets. Morocco have the squad quality, defensive resilience, tournament pedigree, and the motivation of needing a win to guarantee qualification. Haiti have been competitive in moments but have not won a match in this tournament and their best players are expected to be rested.
Saibari’s form, Hakimi’s forward threat, and the freshness that the rotated Morocco side brings all point to a comfortable win. The only uncertainty is whether some of the changes Morocco make affect their clinical edge in the final third. Haiti are unlikely to cause Morocco serious defensive problems.
Our prediction: Morocco to win.
