Saibari leads Morocco into a group decider against Haiti

Beat Haiti and you're through

Haiti at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday, and a win sends your team through to the knockout stage (2). Simple as that. Morocco 1–0 Scotland, Morocco 1–1 Brazil, the table is in your hands. Ismael Saibari has both goals so far, and he will be the man Haiti fear most. Brahim Díaz, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Achraf Hakimi, the core is ready. A draw might do it, but nobody wants to do the math.

Saibari is the name on everyone's lips

Two World Cup goals, two match-defining moments, and now Dutch legends are lining up to talk about him. Willy and René van de Kerkhof, the PSV icons, called Saibari a future phenomenon at Bayern Munich (1). He is your team's most dangerous player, and everyone can see it. PSV will struggle to keep him after this tournament.

Bouaddi, 18, is at the centre of a bidding war

Arsenal are preparing an opening bid, and Lille want more than €80 million (3). PSG, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are all watching. The 18-year-old has been one of the breakout players of this World Cup, and Ibrahim Affelay put it bluntly: "He doesn't suffer from stage fright" (3).

Hakimi's legal case draws teammate support

Achraf Hakimi faces a rape trial in France, and the Morocco squad has rallied around him publicly (4). Munir El Kajoui and other teammates have voiced their support. Hakimi is a key starter, and the case hangs over the camp as the knockout rounds approach. No date has been set for the trial.

The prediction: goals

"I expect a lot of goals," said the analysis predicting Morocco will grab two of them (2). Confidence is high.
