Morocco take on Colombia at Perth Rectangular Stadium in their third match at the World Cup. The last game of the group stage takes place this coming Thursday.
Morocco collected three points in their first two rounds of matches, ranking them as number three in Group H, while Colombia sit as number one on six points.
Having so far lost and won a match in the World Cup tournament this season, Morocco still have high hopes of getting through to the next stage. A second defeat could prove costly, though, and they need to tread carefully. Colombia came through their first two matches with six points to show for their efforts. Having already secured passage to the next stage, they might rest a few key players to stay fresh for upcoming matches.
