Afcon 2019: We will not have many opportunities against Morocco - Benin coach Dussuyer

Benin coach Michel Dussuyer has labelled Morocco as favourites ahead of their Round of 16 clash at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt on Friday.

The Squirrels are set to take on the 1976 champions at Cairo's Al Salam Stadium in what will be the West Africans' first match in the knockout stage at the continental showpiece.

Dussuyer's fold are competing in the Afcon finals for just the fourth time in their history.

"Morocco are considered one of the favourites of the Afcon," the tactician told Jeune Afrique.
