Morocco need just a point against Haiti tonight to guarantee their place in the round of 32 at the World Cup.
The African champions are unbeaten in 31 games and have taken four points from games against Brazil and Scotland so far at the tournament.
It would be a major surprise if they did not get the result they require to secure a top-two spot in Group C against a Haiti side that does not have a point to their name.
Their elimination was confirmed after the 3-0 defeat to Brazil last time out.
