Defence is likely to be the name of the game for Morocco at the World Cup after a watertight journey to Russia.
The bookmakers aren't expecting much success for the Atlas Lions, who are seen as the weakest African team according to the latest odds.
Qualification for the 2018 World Cup
Qualification was straightforward for Herve Renard's men. The experienced coach guided his side to the top of Group C where they kept six consecutive clean sheets, although three of those matches ended 0-0.
That lack of cutting edge could well prove their undoing against Spain and Portugal.
World Cup History
It's been a 20-year absence from the World Cup with the African nation failing to secure a place at the finals since back-to-back group stage exits in 1994 and 1998.
Their best performance came at Mexico 86 where Morocco topped Group B ahead of Paraguay, Mexico and Iraq.
The tournament ended in last 16 heartbreak though, courtesy of a West Germany side who went on to the final, eventually losing 3-2 to Argentina.
