Morocco vs Gabon Preview
Morocco
Morocco will kick off their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification at the Stade Adrar against Gabon as they look for a fast start to their Group B campaign, which also comprises the Central African Republic and Lesotho alongside their Friday opponents, Gabon.
Morocco, who are the top seed of the group, won their last competitive outing in June against Congo, beating them handsomely 0-6. The dominance in this match exemplifies Morocco’s quality and approach, with a robust defensive setup complemented by a lightning-quick and dynamic attack.
In their last five outings in all competitions, Morocco have won three times, drawn once, and lost once. The loss came against South Africa (0-2), with the Atlas Lions finishing the match a man short with the sending off of Sofyan Amrabat.
Alongside the win against Congo, Morocco also beat Zambia 2-1 and Angola 1-0, with the draw coming in a 0-0 match against Mauritania back in March.
22Bet’s football predictions analysis shows that Morocco will be motivated and prepped to make a winning start and statement-making start to their AFCON Group B qualification campaign.
Gabon
Gabon will travel to Stade Adrar to face Morocco in a one-on-one AFCON qualifying opener on Friday.
Gabon have been in mixed form in their last five outings in all competitions, winning twice, drawing once, and losing twice.
The wins came in clashes against Burundi (1-2) in November 2023 and against Gambia (3-2) last time out. The losses came in matches against Senegal (3-0) and Ivory Coast (1-0) in a World Cup qualifier.
Gabon have conceded eight times in their last five outings. This defensive record will be cause for concern when they face the rampant Moroccoan side on Friday.
Our expert soccer predictions show that Gabon will prioritize a pragmatic approach with their shape and formation. Playing away from home means that they will need to be compact and solid to nullify the Moroccan attacking threat.
