After suffering two defeats against Japan (0-2) and Portugal (0-6), the Cubs were on the brink of elimination before bouncing back against New Caledonia. They delivered a historic victory (16-0) to boost their goal difference and secure a spot among the top eight third-placed teams out of 12 groups.
Nabil Baha must build on the positives from their last outing, even if the upcoming opponent is a different beast. The United States went flawless in Group I, defeating Burkina Faso (1-0), Tajikistan (2-1), and the Czech Republic (1-0).
All four players who scored twice against New Caledonia—Oualid Ibn Salah, Haddani, Abdelali Eddaoudi, and Ismail El Aoud—are expected to feature in the starting lineup, unlike Ziyad Baha and Abdellah Ouazane.
