Jonty’s picks

Morocco have a tough task to get out of their group at the upcoming Fifa World Cup in Russia, with Portugal and Spain heavy favourites to make the last-16.

Herve Renard, however, is a fine tournament coach, as he proved with Africa Cup of Nations wins with both Zambia and the Ivory Coast, and his side continue their warm up for Russia this evening with a friendly against Slovakia on neutral territory in Geneva.

The Atlas Lions played out a goalless draw with Ukraine at the same venue last week, illustrating once more that a side that didn’t concede a goal in their World Cup qualifying group should prove difficult to beat at the finals.

They could do with a win over Slovakia to boost their confidence, however, and I think they will get it. Pool Name – S6 V1 P1
