Baha has made it clear that his team has studied every possible scenario against Mali, a side that regularly reaches the final stages of African tournaments. Going into this crucial match, Morocco has a solid defence, having conceded just one goal in the competition, and a ferocious attack that's netted 11 goals.

Mali, meanwhile, will leave nothing to chance as they aim for a third title. Their collective spirit and resilience have been clear from the start of the tournament, with a relentless attacking style.
