For their third group stage match of the 2025 U20 World Cup, Morocco will face Mexico this Saturday, October 4 at 8 p.m. GMT.

Already qualified for the round of 16 after victories over Spain and Brazil and guaranteed to finish atop Group C, coach Mohamed Ouahbi can afford to rest some of his key players.

However, the Young Lions are eager to grab another win and keep their momentum alive ahead of the knockout rounds. With this in mind, the Moroccan tactician is expected to rely on the same players who shined in the first two matches, according to Moroccan media reports.

Morocco's probable starting XI to take on Mexico: Yanis Benchaouch, Ali Maamar, Ismaël Baouf, Fouad Zahouani, Ismaïl Bakhty, Yassine Khalifi, Hossam Essadak, Gessime Yassine, Saad El Haddad, Othmane Maamma, Yassir Zabiri.
