Lineups: Kawkab Marrakech vs Olympique Dcheïra

Neither coaching staff has released an official XI, yet Kawkab are expected to line up in their customary 4-3-3. The spine that includes a veteran goalkeeper and a double-pivot anchoring midfield should remain intact, with two inverted wingers supplying width and goals.
