Players to watch from Morocco
The next three players are considered key to Morocco's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them can score in the match against Ivory Coast. Player Youssef En-Nesyri (#19) is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays has been of great value to his team. He is the team's leading scorer and we could see him score on Saturday. Defender Achraf Hakimi (#2) is another play distributor on the court who is extremely important and is the team's biggest assister. At his young age he has achieved a lot and he is an important piece of the team. Finally, the 32-year-old goalkeeper Yassine Bounou (#1) is one of the best goalkeepers in the Saudi Pro League, his height allows him to be a saver of any ball and is very important for his team not to concede a goal on Saturday .
Morocco

In the 2022 World Cup, Morocco did not qualify for the tournament and a lot is expected of them, so their preparation must be successful for their next tournaments. Their last game was on September 12, resulting in a 1-0 victory against Burkina Faso at the Stade Félix Bollaert-Delélis and thus they won another friendly match. They arrive as the least favorites to win this match, however they could surprise and win.
Players to watch from Ivory Coast
The next three players are considered key to Ivory Coast's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them can score in the match against Morocco. The player Ibrahim Sangaré (#18) is a great forward who is recognized as the team's highest scorer and as a great leader on the field. His ability to control the ball and create plays has been invaluable to his team and we could see him score on Saturday. Defender Wilfried Singo (#5) is another distributor of the game on the court that is of utmost importance, his great ball control makes him the team's greatest assister. Finally, the 23-year-old goalkeeper Yahia Fofana (#1) is one of the best goalkeepers in Ligue 2, his height allows him to save almost any ball and is very important so that his team does not concede a goal on Saturday .
Ivory Coast
The Ivory Coast football team is preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, they will have two friendly games to prepare for this month against Morocco and South Africa. In the 2022 World Cup, Ivory Coast had a bad tournament, so several changes were made and a lot is expected of them, so their preparation must be successful for their next tournaments.
