Charlie Zschau Published: 8 hours ago

One of the biggest group stage clashes is set for Saturday afternoon when Brazil take on Morocco in New Jersey.

Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of the Brazil National Team at the 2026 World Cup for the first time this summer, and could be the knockout stage guru that Brazil has been searching for.

The Italian manager has had a history of winning the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, but has his eyes on the World Cup trophy which would be Brazil's sixth all-time.

The Brazilian's will have face a confident Moroccan opposition that finished third in the 2022 World Cup and were a seconds away from an undisputed AFCON Championship in 2025.

Morocco's team is full of players playing in Europe's top leagues, including 2x UCL winner Achraf Hakimi, Madrid winger Brahim Diaz, and budding star Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Morocco are very tactically sound and talented all over the pitch, but the best players in the game will still be Vinicius Jr and Raphinha on the wings for Brazil. Brazil's also possess one of the strongest center back pairings in the game, Gabriel and Marquinhos.
