Who will lead the Lions on the pitch?
Head coach Hervé Renard has named a forward‑leaning line‑up featuring Hakim Ziyech on the right wing and Sofyan Amrabat in midfield. Defense is marshaled by Romain Saïss as captain, while Youssef En‑Nesyri takes the striker role. Each player aims to reverse the earlier 2‑0 loss.
