Morocco Faces Benin in Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 Clash

This match, which takes place at the "Haras El Hodoud" Stadium in Cairo, is described as easy by the specialists. But Hervé Renard has called on his players to take the Benin "Squirrels" seriously, especially after their performance in the first round of the competition.

The "Atlas Lions" should leave complete, for this match, and the many injured, in particular Karim El Ahmadi, as well as Khalid Boutaïb, will be available for their entry onto the field, if the national coach includes them in the starting group.

The "Haras El Hodoud" Stadium should normally be acquired by the Moroccans, with the presence of thousands of supporters, coming from the Kingdom, as well as that of the Egyptians and Algerians who should travel in large numbers, according to the newspaper Al Ahdath Al Maghribia.

If we rely solely on statistics, Morocco should come out victorious. Indeed, the "Atlas Lions" have won their three matches while the Beninese qualified after three draws. In addition, the previous matches between the two teams have always been in favor of Morocco.
