World Cup bound side Morocco will continue their preparations for the global event as they visit Benito Villamarin Stadium in Spain on Tuesday to take on Paraguay in the second of their two international friendly games against South American nations. It will be the Atlas Lions’ final match to prepare for the World Cup in Qatar starting from November 20. Walid Regragui’s side are placed in Group F featuring Croatia, Belgium and Canada. The African outfit are heading into the match on the back of a 2-0 win over Chile on Friday, while Paraguay secured a narrow 1-0 win over UAE on the same day. 

Morocco put two goals past Chile without reply on Friday. Sofiane Boufal converted a spot-kick in the 65th-minute to break the deadlock, before Abdelhamid Sabiri doubled the lead thirteen minutes later to seal the win for the Atlas Lions. This followed a dominant 3-0 win over Jamaica in August’s friendly match at Austria’s Ernst Happel stadium. Prior to that, Morocco had gotten the better of South Africa (2-1) and Liberia (2-0) in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in June.

Paraguay, on the other hand, got the better of United Arab Emirates courtesy of Fabian Balbuena’s lone goal five minutes from time at Stadion Wiener Neustadt on Friday. This followed another 1-0 win over Mexico on September 1.  La Albirroja had finished eighth in the World Cup qualifiers with 16 points from 18 games, failing to qualify for the global event since the 2010 edition, where they enjoyed a sensational run to the quarter-finals before losing 1-0 to eventual champions Spain.

As for Paraguay, Balbuena, who scored the winner against UAE, had an excellent outing on Friday and is likely to marshall the back-four alongside Gomez in the central defence. Enciso could pearhead the attack with Almiron, Gonzalez and Galarza in support.
