The Panthers are fighting every match to return to the AFCON Tournament after missing out in the previous edition. Gabon have won twice, drawn once and lost a game over their last four matches. More recently, following their toothless stalemate against Lesotho on their home turf, Warren Babicka and Junior Effaghe scored a goal a piece to secure the maximum points on the road against Lesotho. They were formidable against a lowly-ranked opponent, even though Pier Aubameyang was not in action.
Since the high-flying Moroccan team outclassed Gabon in the opening game, Gabon have been undefeated in their previous three matches. Gabon have kept three clean sheets over their last fifteen games and must be at their best not to concede here.
Morocco
FIFA Ranking: 13th
Last five games: WWWWW
The high-flying Moroccon team are currently the best-rated team in the continent, as they head here with six consecutive victories in all competitions. Walid Regragui's men maintained their excellent run in this tournament, heading here with a (0-4) win over Central Africa on the road. Despite the tweak in their starting eleven, Morocco were just too hot to handle their opponent, scoring two goals apiece in both halves. Morocco have won four consecutive matches in the group, scoring fourteen and conceding once.
The Atlas Lions are still ranked as the best team in Africa despite their dreadful outing at the AFCON, and they have already secured their ticket in the forthcoming edition on their home turf.
Morocco, who have lost once over their previous seventeen 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.
Expert Betting Tips
Gabon have won four, while Morocco have recorded two wins and four games ending in a tie over their previous ten meetings. The Panthers were at the top of their game against Central Africa and Lesotho, defending well and taking their chances. Even though their opponents were one of the lowest-ranked sides on the continent, we can’t deny the fact that they played as a team.
They’ll face off against the best team in Africa and it won’t be business as usual. Morocco play the best football in Africa and boasts one of the best squad depths in the continent. They are an attacking side and as well as a very organized defensive unit.
Both teams have loads of attacking qualities on the pitch, with Aubameyang, Lemino, Diaz, Ziyech, Ounahi, and Youssef En Nesyri on the pitch, to mention a few. We are confident this game won’t deny us goals and we expect to see more than two goals here for 2.35.
