Morocco enter the contest with confidence, having impressed throughout the tournament with a combination of defensive solidity and inventive attacking play. The hosts, buoyed by passionate home support, will look to control possession and use their technical quality to break down Cameroon’s defence, capitalizing on key moments.
Key players for Morocco include Brahim Díaz, their top scorer and creative spark, and captain Achraf Hakimi, who brings leadership and pace on the flank.
Cameroon, meanwhile, arrive in the knockout stage with resilience and experience. The Indomitable Lions have relied on physicality, swift transitions, and clinical finishing. Players to watch include forwards Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane, who have netted crucial goals, as well as Bryan Mbeumo, capable of unlocking defences with his speed and skill.
The quarter-final is expected to be a tightly contested affair, with Morocco aiming to dictate play and Cameroon looking to exploit counter-attacking opportunities. The winner will advance to the semi-finals and remain on course for AFCON glory, while the loser will exit the tournament, ending a remarkable campaign.
