The only disappointing results during qualification came in the form of draws against Mauritania, who were the side that eventually finished in second place in the group.

Their last game was a 1-0 win against Burundi, with Munir El Haddadi scoring the winner.

Baba Rahman put the gloss on the victory by scoring the third goal with half an hour remaining.

Ghana and Morocco level up well when studying recent results. Ghana have won the last two, while Morocco have claimed victories on three occasions in the ten previous meetings. Ghana won the last meeting between the two nations 2-0 in January 2008.

Morocco vs Ghana Prediction

This will be the first meeting between the nations in over ten years, and it promises to be a close contest. Morocco have been excellent over recent years, and could be too strong defensively for Ghana to break them down. The slight preference is for a Morocco victory.
