Morocco will hope to continue their winning start in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when Guinea-Bissau visit the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Wednesday.
The Atlas Lions kicked off their campaign with an easy 2-0 victory over Sudan last month, as Nayef Aguerd's strike followed by an own goal from Abdalla Ahmed secured all three points for Morocco.
They're second in Group I above Guinea-Bissau, who are on four points after two games, and could climb above them with another win.

Morocco vs Guinea-Bissau Team News
Morocco
Head coach Vahid Halilhodzic has named a fairly competitive 27-man squad for this month's triple-header.
PSG star Achraf Hakimi, and Sevilla trio Yassine Bounou, Munir El Haddadi and Youssef En-Nesyri are all likely to feature.
Four players are in line to make their debuts, including Chelsea Under-18 goalkeeper Sami Tlemcani and Sassuolo midfielder Abdou Harroui.
However, playmaker Hakim Ziyech is conspicuous by his absence. The Chelsea man had a fall out with Halilhodzic due to his poor conduct and also missed their September games.
Adel Taarabt and Amine Harit are some of the other notable absentees from the squad.
Injured: None
Suspended: None
Unavailable: Hakim Ziyech, Adel Taarabt and Amine Harit
Guinea-Bissau
The Djurtus have called up a 25-man squad for their clash with Morocco.
AS Monaco's Mamadou Pele and Troyes forward Mama Balde are some of the key figures who may feature.
Piqueti Djassi, who scored twice against Sudan in last month's qualifier, will lead the line again.

Morocco vs Guinea-Bissau Prediction
The Atlas Lions may be missing some key players but still have enough quality in their ranks.
Guinea-Bissau, who've scored 11 times in their last four games, will be a threat in attack, but a win for the away team seems unlikely. We expect Morocco to secure a narrow victory.
Prediction: Morocco 2-1 Guinea-Bissau
