The North Africans held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in their opening match, before beating Scotland 1-0, with their two goals so far coming from Ismael Saibari.
The disputed African champions, Morocco, will finish at the top of Group C if they beat Haiti and Scotland avoid defeat against Brazil in the other game.
Supercomputer predicts Morocco vs Haiti
According to The Analyst, Opta’s supercomputer has shared its prediction for the crucial Group C encounter between Morocco and Haiti.
The supercomputer ran 25,000 pre-game simulations, and it suggests dominance, rather than a contest as Morocco has 81% chance of winning.
A draw is likely at 12.3%, while the Haitians will need to pull off a massive upset if they want to secure victory with their 6.7% chance of winning.
Historically, the two sides have never met before, either in an international friendly or a competitive match, with nothing to set the tone other than motivation.
The Atlas Lions have a huge target on their back as they aim to have a better outing than the one they had in 2022, when they finished fourth in Qatar.
Ouahbi targets first place
Morocco national team head coach Mohamed Ouahbi has confirmed that he is fully focused on beating Haiti in order to finish first.
Ouahbi admitted that even though they have qualified for the next round, his motivation is to finish first, and as such, he will field a strong team.

“My preference is to beat Haiti and finish ahead of Brazil in the group. There is talk we might play next against the Netherlands, but it could also be Japan, but even then France or Argentina, but it is not anything we are taking into consideration,” he told FIFA.
“Probably, we are already qualified, but we still want to beat Haiti, and so we plan to field our best possible team in the game. We can use the same starting line-up, but there are still some things we are thinking about before deciding.”
