Upcoming Predictions for Football
Morocco national football team
The Morocco national team was initially considered the main favorite of Quartet E. This status is fully justified by the team. In the starting round of qualification, the Moroccans shared points with the upcoming rival (0:0), after which they issued three victories in a row.
After the home defeat at Burundi (3:0), the team confidently beat the Central African Republic at home (4:1), and in the last game they could again upset their opponent, but this time away (2:0). Having scored nine goals in four qualifying matches, the Moroccans conceded only one goal.
Statistics
- Mauritania have not conceded more than 1 goal at home since 2017.
- In the last 4 home games of Mauritania, a goal was scored in the first half.
- In 4 out of 5 head-to-head meetings between teams, at least three goals were scored.
Our Prediction
In order to complete the qualification early in the first position, Morocco need to not concede in the upcoming game. In terms of the squad, the guests are noticeably superior in the class to Mauritania, but still, the opponent is very reliable in defense at home stadiums. In our opinion, the winner will not be determined in the upcoming match.
Our forecast is a draw with odds of 3.15 on 1xbet.
