Morocco vs Haiti Prediction 24 June 2026
๐ Morocco have one foot in the knockout stage of the World Cup - four points from two matches all but guarantee the Atlas Lions a spot in the round of 32, even if they slip up against Haiti. Still, Morocco are chasing a win to keep their hopes alive for topping the group and securing a more favorable draw. As for Haiti, they became the first team officially eliminated from the tournament. At Atlantaโs Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Caribbean side will be eager to make some noise on their way out - or at the very least, notch their first goal of this World Cup.
Head-to-Head
๐ Morocco and Haiti have never faced each other, neither in official competitions nor in friendly matches.
Morocco Team Overview
Morocco head into the final round of the group stage in a strong position, fully in control of their own destiny. After drawing with Brazil (1-1) and edging Scotland (1-0), they sit on four points and occupy second place in the group. Brazil only top the standings thanks to a superior goal difference (+3 to Moroccoโs +1), a gap that could be closed in their clash with the groupโs underdogs. The Moroccan side have been pragmatic and disciplined throughout the tournament, extending their unbeaten run at the World Cup to six matches - a new record for African national teams.
Ismael Saibari has been Moroccoโs only goalscorer at the tournament so far. He needed just 21 minutes to find the net in the opening game, and only two minutes to strike in the second. Moved into a central striker role by Mohamed Ouabi, Saibari has become Moroccoโs primary attacking threat, and their hopes of overtaking Brazil on goal difference rest largely on his shoulders. Supporting him is Brahim Diaz, who has already provided two assists for Saibari. Expect Morocco to come out firing from the first whistle, with particular attention on how they approach the opening half.
Match Results: Morocco
Haiti Team Overview
Haiti have just one motivation left: to exit the tournament with their heads held high. Although the Les Grenadiers were the first team eliminated from playoff contention, they've still managed to impress. On paper, their squad might suggest a defensive, low-block approach, but under Sรฉbastien Mignรฉ, Haiti play with a high defensive line and show no fear.
Against Scotland (0-1), this bold strategy nearly paid off. Haiti forced mistakes from their opponents and matched the European side stride for stride. However, when it came to Brazil, the gulf in quality proved decisive. Haiti held out until the 23rd minute but conceded three times before halftime. In the second half, the Caribbean side actually outshot the Seleรงรฃo (7-2), yet rarely threatened Alissonโs goal - reflected in their 0.25 xG. Interestingly, with a combined xG of 1.32 over two matches, theyโve certainly created enough to warrant a goal, so an advanced stat suggests we might finally see Haiti score their first World Cup goal of the 21st century.

Latest news
Morocco
โ Morocco have reported no injury concerns within their squad. With progression to the knockout stage all but secured and a match against the group's weakest side up next, the head coach may opt to rotate his lineup and rest some key players. For instance, 18-year-old Ayoub Bouaddi, a pivotal presence in midfield, could start on the bench this time.
Haiti
โ Haiti have no injury concerns - every player is available for selection. With this being their final match of the tournament, Sรฉbastien Mignรฉ is unlikely to tinker with his lineup. Expect Haiti to field their strongest XI.
Predicted Lineups
๐ Morocco predicted starting XI: Bounou - Hakimi, Diop, Riad, Mazraoui - El Aynaoui, El Mourabet, El Khannouss - Diaz, Saibari, Talbi
๐ Haiti predicted starting XI: Placide - Arcus, Ade, Delcroix, Experience - Providence, Bellegarde, Jean Jacques, Casimir - Isidor, Pierrot
๐จ Yellow Card Prediction
Danny Makkelie entered the World Cup with a modest record, averaging just 2.8 bookings per game over his last ten matches. However, the Dutch referee set a tougher tone at the tournament itself, calling 30 fouls and handing out six yellow cards in the clash between the USA and Paraguay. Haiti play with plenty of courage, but their lack of quality compared to Morocco is likely to leave gaps between the lines. The underdogs will be forced to break up surging runs from Saibari, Diaz, and Moroccoโs other technical midfielders to prevent them from building momentum. For that reason, we expect another game involving the Les Grenadiers to see total over 2.5 yellow cards. The odds on this market are 1.56*.
โฝ Goals Prediction
This North American World Cup is quickly turning into a stage for the underdogs. Teams considered outsiders on paper are regularly finding ways to get on the scoresheet, if not pick up points. We believe Haiti donโt deserve to finish their campaign without a single goal to their name. Even against Brazil, they came close - only a last-ditch clearance off the line denied them. Weโre backing Isidor and company to give their fans something to cheer about, making Both Teams To Score (Yes) at 2.44* an attractive bet.
๐ฉ Corner Prediction
The stats suggest this encounter wonโt be overflowing with corners. Not a single match in this group has produced more than eight corners after two rounds. Here again, we think there could be more goals than corners, especially since Haiti are unlikely to just sit back and defend deep. Total under 9.5 corners at 1.80* has landed in six of Moroccoโs last seven World Cup matches and in five consecutive official games involving Haiti.
๐ Player Stats Bet
Ismael Saibari has scored both of Moroccoโs goals at this tournament so far. The winger - who has already agreed a move to Bayern - has truly flourished in his new role. If he found the net against direct rivals, itโs hard to argue against him doing the same versus the groupโs underdogs. Interestingly, Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha also bagged a brace against Haiti from a false nine position last round, so backing Ismael Saibari to score at 1.90* looks like a strong option.
๐ฑ Risky Bet
The Atlas Lions are likely to come out flying as they look to boost their goal difference early on. If they build a commanding lead by half-time, the second half could mirror what happened in Brazil vs Haiti, where the underdogs actually took the initiative after the break. In this scenario, a bet on draw in the second half at 3.80* could pay off. Notably, this trend is supported by the same stats we highlighted in the corners section: itโs landed in six of Moroccoโs last seven World Cup matches and in five straight official fixtures involving Haiti.
๐ฏ Safe Bet
The African side wonโt waste any time pressing forward from kick-off. But despite two defeats, Haiti havenโt looked like pushovers - theyโre capable of putting up a fight and even getting on the scoresheet themselves. Haiti +3.5 handicap has landed in 49 of their last 50 official matches, making it a well-founded pick here. Bookmakers are offering odds around 1.25* for this market.
๐ If the Game Doesnโt Go as Expected
Morocco can strike early but rarely run up the scoreline. Thereโs no guarantee theyโll go all-out for more goals if they get ahead - especially if Brazil are trailing Scotland in the parallel match. In that case, Morocco could settle for a narrow win and ease off after scoring. That would open up an opportunity in-play for total under 3.5 goals at an attractive price.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
Thereโs always a chance Brazil could drop points against Scotland, in which case any win would be enough for Morocco to top the group over the Pentacampeรตes. But thatโs not something the North Africans can count on, so theyโll need to go out and secure a big victory against Haiti to move ahead on goal difference. Morocco have the individual quality to do just that, and with their opponentsโ open style of play, itโs the perfect opportunity to showcase their attacking firepower. Despite a few recent low-scoring trends, our editorial team expects an open, high-scoring contest and backs total over 2.5 goals in this one. Predicted correct score: 3-1.
