Match Preview
Morocco is one of the most successful football teams on the African continent. They finished fourth at the 2022 World Cup, making history as the first African team to reach the semifinals. In the group stage, Morocco drew 0-0 with Croatia, then defeated Belgium 2-0 and Canada 2-1. They triumphed over Spain in a penalty shootout in the Round of 16 and beat Portugal 1-0 in the quarterfinals. Their impressive run ended in the semifinals with a 2-0 loss to France. A key feature of the Moroccan team is their strong defense, led by defender Romain Saïss and goalkeeper Yassine Bounou. Additionally, many of their players compete in top European and Asian leagues.

On the other hand, Zambia has not been as prominent in international football. Their most notable achievement is their surprise victory at the 2012 African Cup of Nations, where they defeated a very strong Ivory Coast team in a penalty shootout in the final. Since that success, Zambia has struggled, failing to advance past the group stage in subsequent tournaments and never qualifying for a World Cup. In the current World Cup qualifiers, Zambia has three points from two matches—a 2-1 defeat to Niger and a 4-2 victory over the Republic of the Congo. While Zambia still has a chance to reach the third round of qualification, they need to earn points in matches against their main competitors.

Goaloo Prediction
The match appears to be one-sided. The hosts are likely to take control from the first minutes, consistently applying pressure on the opponent’s goal. The visitors will likely defend with a low block and rely on counterattacks. While we predict a 2-0 scoreline, betting on the exact score is risky. Therefore, we recommend betting on a Morocco victory without specifying the score.

Pick: Morocco Win
