Guinea-Bissau will aim to avenge their heavy defeat to Morocco when the two sides meet for the second time in just three days in their latest 2022 FIFA World Cup Group I qualifier in Casablanca on Saturday.

Baciro Cande's side had drawn 1-1 with Guinea and beaten Sudan 4-2 in their opening two group games, but then suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Morocco, which leaves their qualification hopes for Qatar 2022 in the balance.

Another defeat for Guinea-Bissau, who have already played one game more in this group stage, against Morocco would move Saturday's opponents five points clear of Cande's men.

There are 10 groups during this phase of World Cup qualification in Africa, and the 10 group winners are then drawn into two-legged play-off matches, with the five winners from those ties advancing to Qatar 2022.
