Update Soon — Lineups will be available 1 hour before kickoff.
Here’s a preview of the Brazil vs Morocco clash in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, including likely lineups, strengths, and what to expect:
Brazil enter this match as one of the favourites in Group C, coming off a strong qualification campaign through the CONMEBOL U-20 Championship. They have built momentum, showing consistency and attacking potency—qualities they will look to carry into this game. Their squad is packed with emerging talent, blending physicality, technical skill, and depth across all areas. (Foot Africa)
Their likely formation will be an attack-minded 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, relying on a solid backline with full-backs pushing high, midfielders who can both protect and distribute, and forwards who can press and exploit gaps between Morocco’s defensive lines. Key players will include those in advanced roles—wingers, centre-forwards—supported by creative midfielders.
Morocco, meanwhile, have made a statement with a 2-0 win over Spain in their opening game, showing discipline, compact defending, and effectiveness in attack.

Their lineup vs Spain featured Benchaaouch in goal; defenders Maamar, Baouf, Maama; midfielders Sadiq, Al-Haddad, Al-Zahwani; forwards Jassim, Khalifi, Bakhti, Zabiri. (فاس نيوز ميديا) Morocco will likely maintain a shape that prioritises defensive solidity, quick counterattacks, and effective transitions. Expect them to try to frustrate Brazil, deny space in midfield, and hit on the break or from set-pieces.
This match will hinge on Brazil’s ability to break down Morocco’s discipline without leaving gaps, and on Morocco’s capacity to stay compact and make their moments count. Brazil will likely dominate possession and territory, pushing for early breakthroughs. Morocco, with confidence from their win, will aim to stay organized, absorb pressure, and exploit any lapses.
Given what is known, Brazil are the favourites, but this will not be an easy game; Morocco have already shown they can pull off results. If Morocco can keep the score tight early, they might force Brazil into mistakes. A close game is expected; Brazil might edge it, but a draw cannot be ruled out.
