Match Preview
This is the first time the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria will be squaring up against Morocco but Nigeria will be heading into this game as the favourite based on pedigree and experience.
Nigeria is participating for the 10th time in this tournament while Morocco is participating for just the third time.
The Golden Eaglets have won the Championship on two occasions while the Moroccans are yet to taste success.
This is going to be a top-of-the-table clash and both sides will be seeking a victory. A win would get the victorious side a place in the quarterfinals with a game to spare.
What to Expect
It is expected that the Golden Eaglets will boss the possession while the young Moroccans will try and hit them on the counter.
Nduka Ugbade's boys will get their chances but must ensure that they are more clinical and keep it tight at the back.
All eyes will be on Nigerian right-back Yahaya Lawali and Moroccan midfielder Adam Chekiwasho were named man of the match in their team's first game.
Kickoff/Time and Venue
The encounter between the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria and the Atlas Lions of Morocco will be staged at Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui in Constantine, Algeria.
The match is expected to kick off at 1700 hours Nigerian time.
