Morocco vs Central Africa Prediction & Betting tips
In Group E of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification, surprisingly, the Atlas Lions are not yet at the top of the table. The group is currently led by strong Mauritanians who scored a surprising point against the Moroccan group favorite at the start of the group and currently have one more game to play.
A win for Morocco in the upcoming group game against the Central African Republic is all the more important. This means that the lions of the Atlas can conquer the top of the table. According to the odds comparison of the betting base, Morocco vs. Central African Republic a home win is quite obvious.
The Central African Republic played their last international match in November of last year. Accordingly, the Atlas Lions have the edge in terms of game practice. More betting tips and analysis for the Africa Cup of Nations qualification can be found in the betting base section Africa Cup Tips.
Morocco :
Morocco is aiming for group leadership in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification. The Atlas Lions ruined the start in Group E, but are likely to secure one of the two starting places for the big tournament against teams like Mauritania, Burundi and the Central African Republic.
At home, the Atlas Lions haven’t lost a home game since October 2019. The Moroccans have now been unbeaten in five home games, with a record of 3-2-0. In the last international break, the national team around head coach Vahid Halilhodzic saw a home win over Senegal (3: 1) and a draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1: 1).
In the current form of the Moroccans, three points in the home game against the Central African Republic should not be at risk. After all, the Atlas Lions can take the group lead with a home win. The team of national coach Halilhodzic does not want to miss that chance on Friday evening.
The Moroccan trainer caused a few surprises when he was nominated for the current international break. Among other things, players like Idrissi, El Kaddouri, Boufal, Lazaar and Abdelhamid were omitted. There are some debutants in the squad for this international break. El Majhad, Aboukhlal and Rahimi were called up for the first time in the Moroccan national team.
Since the Atlas Lions did not play a test match before the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, it is uncertain which starting line-up Halilhodzic will send on the pitch in the home game against the Central African Republic. It is quite possible that a similar starting XI will be used as in the last international break.
Central African Republic:
So far, the Central African Republic has never qualified for the Africa Cup. If the results so far in the group stage of the current qualification go, nothing will change for the time being. In a group with Mauritania, Burundi and Morocco, there is not much to be said for a surprise coup for the Central Africans.
In the last four international matches, head coach Francois Zahoui’s national team have lost three times, including the most recent defeat against Mauritania (2-0). “Les Fauves” have not played an international match since November last year. In terms of match practice, there are certainly some deficits.
The most valuable player in the ranks of the Central Africans is Geoffrey Kondogbia, defender of the Spanish top club Atletico Madrid. Although “Les Fauves” will have the best line-up, the options for the national coach are limited in the course of the game.
Zahoui will probably rely on his own defensive bulwark in the away game in Morocco and wait for counter-chances. Given the manageable offensive qualities of the Zahoui-Elf, a goal against the Moroccans is probably difficult to achieve. Big changes compared to the last starting grid are not to be expected.
