Aiming to become the first African team to reach the semi-final of the World Cup, Morocco take on Portugal at the Al-Thumama Stadium on Saturday.
Walid Regragui's men claimed an impressive victory over Spain via a penalty shootout last time out to secure safe passage into the last eight.
Fernando Santos's men, meanwhile, breezed through their quarter-final involvement as they eased past the challenge of Switzerland in an emphatic 6-1 victory.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Morocco and Portugal weigh up against each other ahead of Saturday's contest.
