Morocco will host Niger in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Wednesday, November 11. The match kicks off at 5 PM local time at a stadium in Morocco.

This fixture is part of the third round of group stage qualifiers for the continental tournament. Morocco's last outing was on October 4, a 1-1 draw with Mali. Abdel Samad Ezzalzouli scored Morocco's goal from the penalty spot in the 35th minute, before Mali equalized through Gibriel Diarra in the 77th. This result leaves Morocco's recent form from their last one match at zero wins, one draw, and zero defeats, keeping the team unbeaten in their most recent outing.

Morocco's head coach is expected to deploy the 4-2-3-1 formation used in the last match against Mali. This setup balances solid defense with quick counter-attacks. Meanwhile, Niger used a 4-4-1-1 formation in their last match against Algeria on October 6.

Morocco will be looking to improve their qualifying record and build momentum towards qualification.
