Morocco coach Herve Renard is anticipating a "tough game" against South Africa Monday at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt despite the contrasting fortunes of the teams.
While Morocco were deserved 1-0 winners over the Ivory Coast in Group D -- considered the hardest of the six -- South Africa were lucky to lose only 1-0 to the west Africans.
"South Africa have a lot of very good players," said Renard, the only coach to win the African title with two countries.
"They also have a good coach in Stuart Baxter so it will be a tough game."

Cisse said there was a silver lining to the defeat by Algeria: "We are no longer being called the favourites. The favourites are those who have won the tournament before."
