Goal Scorer:
Morocco
Romain Saiss has been the heart of the Moroccan defence in recent years, and the former Wolverhampton Wanderers player showed his value at the other end of the field on Wednesday when he opened the scoring for his side.
Saiss's defensive partner Noussair Mazraoui did not feature in midweek due to an injury, and the Bayern Munich defender has been flagged as a doubt for this match as well.
Youssef En-Nesyri opened his account with the final goal of the match and should lead the line again on Sunday, while Sofiane Boufal will hope to make the starting 11 after coming off the bench last time out.
Morocco possible starting lineup:
Bono; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Chibi; Ounahi, Amrabat, Ziyech, Harit; El Khannouss, En-Nesyri
DR Congo
For Congo DR, Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa scored the only goal for his side against Zambia, and he will spearhead the attack once again alongside Galatasaray forward Cedric Bakambu.
Meschak Elia looked good after coming off the bench for Gael Kakuta and could be promoted to the first 11, while Braga forward Simon Banza is another who will be pushing for a starting role here after featuring for just 10 minutes in midweek.
Congo DR possible starting lineup:
M'Pasi; Masuaku, Kiranga, Mbemba, Kalulu; Kakuta, Moutoussamy, Pickel; Wissa, Bongonda, Bakambu
Prediction: Morocco 3-1 Congo DR
