Morocco are one of the two nations that garnered maximum points at the group stages of the Arab Cup. They go to the quarter finals as favorites and get to face Algeria in an all-African affair. Morocco scored nine times and kept three clean sheets in their three matches at the group stage, stretching their unbeaten run to 26 matches. They have 12 straight wins going into this game and they’ve conceded just one goal in the last 15 matches, which makes them one of the favorites in this competition. They’ve won a penalty in each of their matches at the Arab Cup, beating Palestine and Jordan 4-0 each before wrapping up with a 1-0 win over 10-man Saudi Arabia.

Algeria are coming from a hard fought 1-1 draw with Egypt and get to face another tough team from the CAF region. They will be without Yacine Titraoui who was sent off in the game against Egypt. In their last two matches, Algeria have had a player sent off in each. This will be a tough game as they carry a 21-game unbeaten run and have one of the best squads at this competition. The African champions have scored seven goals in the competition, two less than Morocco but will feel capable of handling the challenge at hand. Algeria have no win over Morocco in the last three meetings while in seven meetings, they have won just once and lost five.
