• Comoros have conceded first in their last six away fixtures.
• Morocco are unbeaten in the last four meetings between these two, winning three

Coelacanths in deep trouble against Morocco

Expectations could hardly be higher for Morocco in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, as the hosts are also favourites to win this tournament for just the second time.

The Atlas Lions reached the semi-final of the last World Cup, breezed through qualification by winning all six games and are as high as 11th in FIFA’s rankings.

All of that adds up to a daunting task for minnows Comoros, who face the home side in this curtain raiser.

Clean sheets abound for Atlas Lions at AFCON

Les Coelacantes have made Afcon for just the second time after a 2021 campaign in which they won one of their four games. They did go unbeaten in qualifying but were beaten 2-0 when these two teams met in this tournament four years ago and look set for a similar fate here.

Morocco have won 16 and drawn one of their last 17 games and simply look a cut above these opponents, who will be targeting group games against Zambia and Mali for points ahead of this one.

The Atlas Lions won the Arab Cup earlier this week without many of their big names, demonstrating the depth in this squad, and they should win this to nil.

Comoros’ last five games produced over 2.5 goals and they may lose this one 3-0.
