If Morocco are to win the group, the likelihood is that they will have to win this game by a comfortable margin.

They have started the competition in a conservative manner, scoring the opening goal in their previous two matches before sitting back thereafter. They cannot approach this game with that type of mindset if they are to finish at the top of the pile.

The manner in which Haiti conceded three in the first half against Brazil suggests the CONCACAF side will struggle to keep their rivals at bay.

Haiti will spend a good deal of this game on the back foot, and that is likely to result in a sizeable foul count.

Across their two matches to date, they have committed 37 fouls. This has not come as a great shock. Across their qualifying games, they committed 14.6 fouls per match on average.

Morocco, meanwhile, picked up 16 fouls against Brazil, and though they only won 10 against Scotland, the referee was determined to let play flow in that encounter as much as possible. A more conventional approach would have seen their count far higher.

Haiti have caused a pleasant surprise in their previous matches due to their willingness to get forward when they have had the chance.

This resulted in them winning four corners against Scotland and then another four against Brazil. Although they are already eliminated as they cannot catch the Scots due to their head-to-head record, it will be a matter of national pride for them to keep their values.

Haiti have now won at least three corners in their last seven competitive matches as well as in three of their four most recent friendly outings.

Isidor has approached the World Cup with the same relish as he has shown playing for Sunderland in the Premier League.

The France-born attacker carried his side’s biggest threat against Scotland and also mustered a couple of shots against Brazil. The 25-year-old was Sunderland’s most prolific shooter in the Premier League last season with 43 efforts, despite playing the equivalent of only 12.9 games.

This equated to 3.32 shots per 90, underlining just how much he likes to shoot when he gets a sight of the target.
