Gabon vs Morocco Predictions

• Morocco have won 14 of their last 15 matches
• Nine of Morocco’s most recent 11 wins have contained at least two goals
• Seven of Gabon’s last nine fixtures have included at least two goals

Morocco to maintain 100% record

It has been a strong start to AFCON for Morocco, who have beaten Comoros (2-0) and Ghana (1-0) in their opening two games, though the scoreline against Comoros would have been much more severe were it not for a heroic goalkeeping performance.

They remain among the favourites to lift what would be their second title next month and head into this fixture on a sparkling run of form with 21 wins in their last 24 games, losing just once.

Vahid Halilhodžić’s like to keep things tight, keeping 16 clean sheets in their last 18 fixtures, but 12 of those matches have included at least two goals, so they score plenty as well.

Gabon need a point to secure qualification

Gabon remain unbeaten at the 2021 African Cup of Nations, and a draw here would guarantee progression to the knock out stages for the first time since 2012.

They beat Comoros 1-0 in their opening group game before drawing 1-1 against Ghana, with the latter of those two matches one of 14 in their last 16 games that has included at least two goals.

They have lost seven of those fixtures, and a repeat could be on the cards here as Morocco are on a roll. I predict Morocco will win with two or more goals in the game, selecting 2-0 as a correct score.
