Senegal vs Morocco: Preview

Senegal will be up against it from minute one in Rabat and have been dealt a huge blow ahead of the showpiece event.

Captain Kalidou Koulibaly is set to miss out due to suspension, meaning they will have to do so without their colossal defender at the back.

That puts extra onus on Senegal's forward players, especially the duo of Sadio Mane and Iliman Ndiaye.

Mane, ex-Liverpool, scored the vital winner against Egypt in the semi-finals and will be hoping to lead his nation to glory once again.

Morocco are looking to become champions for the first time since 1976.

The last time they reached this stage was when they came so agonisingly close in a final defeat against Tunisia in 2004.

Brahim Diaz blanked for the first time at the tournament as they emerged winners against Nigeria, only by the finest margin in the semi-finals via penalties.

The Real Madrid man will be hoping to help steer his country to victory, in what could be an all-timer in Rabat.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Senegal 1-3 Morocco

We saw how important the home advantage was in the semi-finals, so we think it's Morocco to lift the trophy on Sunday.
