The World Cup will be held in Qatar in a year's time and the Arab Cup is being held as a taster, which will serve to check the logistics of the event in preparation for 2022.

The Arab Cup got underway this morning with no major surprises as Algeria defeated Sudan 4-0 in Group D and Egypt won by the narrowest of margins against Lebanon.

It should be recalled that Morocco is coming off the back of a perfect qualifying campaign in Africa and is one of the top contenders to win the title in this competition.

Morocco and Palestine make their debut in the Arab Cup this Wednesday and will be looking to do it on the right foot. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

The only precedent in recent years between these two teams was on November 14, 2016 in a friendly match where they did not hurt each other after a 0-0 draw in the 90 minutes.

The Asian team will depend a lot on the interventions under the three posts that Anas Abusaif can make, because as long as they keep the scoreboard closed the chances of getting a good result will increase.

Turkey's Hatayspor player, Ayoub El Kaabi, was key to Morocco's dominance in the qualifiers by becoming the team's top scorer with five goals and is expected to continue to increase his scoring quota with his national team.

Anas Abusaif, Thaer Jboor, Mousa Salim, Yazan Iwaiwi, Ahmed Qatmish, Mohammed Darwish, Mosab Abusalem, Dawoud Iraqi, Mahmoud Abu Warda, Reebal Dahams.

While Palestine does not come to this tournament with high expectations after being eliminated from the Asian qualifiers, this could make them a dangerous team with everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Morocco is coming from a great group stage in the World Cup qualifiers where it won all six matches and will be in the definitive phase for a place in the World Cup in Qatar, which makes it the favorite to advance to the next round.

In addition to Morocco and Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Jordan will also be present in this sector, remembering that the first two in each sector will advance.

The Morocco vs Palestine match will be played at the Al Janoub Stadium, in Al Wakrah, Qatar. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 am ET.
