:Headline: Belgium vs. Morocco: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?:
Ahead of Sunday's World Cup meeting between Belgium and Morocco, Sports Mole looks at how both squads compare, including their most valuable and top-scoring players.

Seeking to make it two wins from two in Group F and secure their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup, Belgium take on Morocco at the Al Thumama Stadium on Sunday.

Roberto Martinez's men were a tad lucky to have kicked off their campaign with a win as they saw off Canada 1-0 in Wednesday's group opener thanks to a 44th-minute effort from Michy Batshuayi.

Morocco, who are vying for a first knockout-stage appearance since 1986, will be looking to build on their impressive opening-day performance as they held 2018 beaten finalists Croatia to a goalless draw at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Belgium and Morocco weigh up against each other ahead of Sunday's contest.
