Morocco's national football team is poised to solidify their position at the summit of Group F when they face Zambia this Wednesday in what promises to be a closely contested match.

Currently leading the group solely on goal difference, the Atlas Lions drew 1-1 with Tanzania and secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Democratic Republic of the Congo in their previous fixture. A triumph against Zambia on Wednesday would ensure Morocco's qualification for the knockout stages with a game to spare.

Coach Walid Regragui underscores the significance of clinching the top spot in the group, emphasizing, "Securing those three points is crucial as it allows us to rest players in our final match and avoid tougher opponents in the next round." He is expected to deploy his strongest lineup against a Zambian side that is still in contention for qualification.

Zambia, initially entering the tournament with modest expectations, has displayed resilience in their defeats against DR Congo and Tanzania. They perceive this upcoming match as their prime opportunity to earn their first points.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 PM Moroccan time and can be witnessed live on the national television stations Arryadia and SNRT Live or via satellite on BeIN Sports Channels 1 and 2. With a berth in the knockout stages within reach, the Atlas Lions aim to roar once more in front of a captivated nation.
