MOROCCO v EGYPT
A quick look into the NIKE FIBA World Rankings, and Egypt emerge as the number six team on the continent while Morocco come in the tenth place.
When it comes to facing each other, Egypt keep a 2-1 edge dating back to 1991.

Meanwhile, if Morocco continue to play at the level they dispatched their Group B opponents Angola, Uganda and the Central African Republic in Dakar last week, they might see off Egypt as well.

While veteran duo of Mustapha Khalfi and Soufiane Kourodu performed below expectations, John Wilkins, Ali Lahrichi and Adil El Makssoud became Morocco game-changers in the Group Phase.

And, beating Angola for the first time in three decades gave Morocco a tremendous morale booster heading for the Quarter-Finals.

However, Morocco know how smartly Egypt move the ball, and they shouldn't overlook the Pharaohs, who will look to make it to the Semi-Finals for the first time since 2013.

TALENTS TO WATCH: John Wilkins, Soufiane Kourodu and Ali Lahrichi (Morocco). Moustapha Elmekawi and Ibrahim El Gammal (Egypt).
