Recent form

Brazil come into the tournament off the back of two wins in their warm up matches. They put six past Panama in a 6-2 win before beating Egypt 2-1 in their final match before the tournament.

Unlike many other nations Morocco played four warm up fixtures before the tournament, winning three and drawing one. They beat Paraguay, Burundi and Madagascar but draw 1-1 with Norway.

What’s been said?

Carlo Ancelotti did not play down the test that Morocco will be for Brazil.

“Don’t forget, tomorrow we are facing the champions of Africa, Morocco. They’re a great team,” he said.

“Morocco are a great team and they have complete players who perform in Europe. In order to beat them, we have to defend better and attack better, otherwise we will be in trouble.”

Morocco boss Mohamed Ouahbi said he is not scared of Ancelotti’s Brazil side.

“It’s a match that will tell us where we stand, but I think we’re in a good place to start this competition,” said Ouahbi, who replaced Walid Regragui as Morocco boss in March.

“We’ve got to be in confident in ourselves and what we’ve done. We shouldn’t fear Brazil but treat them with respect.

“Lots of people say it’s not the Brazil of old, but it’s still Brazil.”
