Prediction on Morocco vs South Africa
Before the tournament, the bookies see Morocco as one of the favourites to win AFCON 2023.
They have gained that “status” after a tremendous performance in the FIFA World Cup 2022, where they reached the semi-finals, becoming the first African team to reach that achievement. Compared with the World Cup squad, it doesn’t change at all.
Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana showed that they have enough quality to fight with every team in this tournament.
Both teams were in the same group during the AFCON qualifiers.
Morocco earned a 2:1 victory at home, while in the reverse game, South Africa bounced back and registered a 2:1 score in their favour.
We predict that there will be a draw in regular time between Morocco and South Africa.
Prediction: Draw
It will be a tough and tight match. As we mentioned before, the previous two games between those teams, which took place in the last 2 years, have seen under 3.5 goals.
With that in mind, the two teams are expected to settle for a low-scoring draw.
Betting Tip: Total goals under 3.5
Match Preview: Morocco vs South Africa
Another strong pair will meet in the Africa Cup of Nations 1/8 finals match.
Morocco took the first spot in Group F by collecting 7 points. Walid Regragui’s men defeated Zambia and Tanzania and shared points with the D.R. Congo.
Meanwhile, South Africa kicked off the AFCON with a defeat against Mali (0:2).
However, Bafana Bafana bounced back against Namibia, beating them 4:0. In the last game in Group E, South Africa played out a goalless draw against Tunisia to secure the 2nd spot in the group.
Predicted Lineups
Morocco: Bono; Hakimi, Aguerd, Abdelhamid, Attiyat Allah, Amrabat, Ziyech, Ounahi, Saibari, Boufal, El Kaabi
South Africa: Williams, Mudau, Kekana, Mvala, Modiba, Sithole, Mookena, Tau, Zwane, Morena, Makgopa
