The international break features another set of matches this weekend as Morocco lock horns with an impressive Brazil side in an intriguing encounter at the Grand Stade de Tanger on Saturday. Morocco have consistently punched above their weight in recent years and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar last year.
The North African giants slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Ghana in January this year and will need to bounce back in this fixture. Brazil, on the other hand, have experienced a transition in recent weeks and now have an array of talented youngsters at their disposal. The Selecao crashed out of the World Cup against Croatia in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
