Morocco vs Central Africa Prediction: The hosts will exert dominance over their opponent

The host nation, Morocco, will continue their AFCON qualifying campaign against Central Africa at the Honneur Stadium on Saturday. The Atlas Lions, who have won four consecutive matches, will be keen to amass all the points against their opponent tomorrow. 

FIFA Ranking: 14th 

Last five games: DWWWW

Walid Regragui's men maintained their decent run in this tournament, heading here with a (0-1) victory over Lesotho. Morocco decided to give their second team an opportunity, which literally cost them the maximum points, thanks to Brahmin Diaz's last-ditch goal. Before then, they overwhelmed their opponent on their own turf, scoring four goals and conceding once. They have now scored eleven goals in their last three games in all competitions. 

The Atlas Lions are still ranked as the best team in Africa despite their dreadful outing at the AFCON. They’ll be keen to qualify for this edition on their home soil in a group that consists of Gabon, Central African Republic, and Lesotho. Morocco, who have lost once over their previous fifteen matches, are now back on their feet. Morocco are the favorite to win this encounter, and their recent games suggest it will be a smooth ride.

Raoul Savoy's men suffered a shocking defeat on the road as they were beaten by a determined Gabon team. They conceded twice before the break, giving their opponent the maximum points. This was after their (3-1) victory over Lesotho on their ground. 

Central African Republic are the second lowest-rated side in this group, and they’ll be out to prove themselves against a solid team like Morocco. 

Over their last three meetings, Morocco have won three straight matches against Central Africa. The guests have struggled lately following their loss against Gabon. They were outnumbered by their opponent and deserved to lose. At the same time, Morocco are hitting their stride again after their disappointing outing at the AFCON Championship last season. They have won four and drawn once after being eliminated in the round of 16 by South Africa. 

Morocco are one of the teams in Africa that play beautiful football, and they’ve shown some tactical astuteness in recent games. They are a footballing nation, and we think their passionate home supporters will make the atmosphere unbearable for their guests. We believe this game will produce more than a goal before the break, considering the level of attacking threats on the pitch.

We also believe the hosts will win and score more than two goals for 1.62.

Both teams will get a goal apiece for 2.83.

Good luck!
