Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Morocco could line up for Wednesday's World Cup 2022 Group F clash with Croatia.

Walid Regragui is expected to keep with the majority of the Morocco side which impressively defeated Georgia in their final warm-up match for Wednesday's World Cup opener with Croatia.

Although their European opponents were missing their star player, the Atlas Lions can only take confidence from prevailing by a 3-0 scoreline.

However, that is not to say that there will not be changes with Sofyan Amrabat in line to return in the centre of midfield.

Noussair Mazraoui, who plays for Bayern Munich, should also be recalled to take his place on the left-hand side of the defence.

While Yahia Attiyat Allah and Yahya Jabrane were selected against Georgia, the Wydad AC pair should both start this fixture on the substitutes' bench.

Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou will take his place between the sticks, behind Achraf Hakimi, Romain Saiss and Nayef Aguerd who will make up the rest of the backline.

Azzedine Ounahi and Selim Amallah, of Angers and Standard Liege respectively, are expected to support Amrabat in midfield, with Morocco's star names taking their place in the final third.

Chelsea playmaker Hakim Ziyech, having recently come out of international retirement, will support Youssef En-Nesyri, with Sofiane Boufal should line up on the left flank.

Morocco possible starting lineup: Bono; Hakimi, Saiss, Aguerd, Mazraoui; Ounahi, Amrabat, Amallah; Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal
