Morocco vs Zambia Prediction & Betting Tips (7 June)

Semi-finalist of the 2018 World Cup, Morocco is off to a good start in these qualifiers since it won its only match played so far, against Tanzania 0-2 last November. On the other hand, the Atlas Lions disappointed during the last African Cup of Nations by being eliminated in the 1/8th finals. However, they were rather convincing during the group stage, finishing at the top of their group ahead of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Tanzania. During the last meeting, the Moroccans won against Angola 1-0 before being held by Mauritania 0-0 during 2 friendly matches.

Zambia, for its part, got off to an ideal start in these qualifiers by winning against Congo 4-2 but it missed a few days later by losing on the field of Niger. A tone below its opponent of the day, this team was eliminated in the first round of the last CAN by not achieving the slightest success against the DRC 1-1, Tanzania 1-1 and Morocco 0- 1. During March, the Chipolopolo were held by Zimbabwe 2-2 before winning a short victory against Malawi 2-1.

For this gathering, the selection Walid Regragui decided to do without one of his executives, Sofiane Boufal (Al-Rayyan, 46 sel, 8 goals) who has just returned from injury. Unconvincing in their respective clubs, Amallah (Valence) and Harit (Marseille) were not selected. Otherwise, the goalkeeper Bunou (Al-Hilal, 65 sel) and the stars Hakimi (PSG, 75 sel, 9 goals), Mazraoui (Bayern), Aguerd (West Ham) and Saïss (Al-Shabab, 82 sel) are there just like the young midfielders Azzouzi (Bologna) and Brahim Diaz (Real Madrid) and the solid Amrabat (Manchester United, 56 sel). Offensively, we also find the captains En-Nesyri (Sevilla, 75 sels, 20 goals), Ziyech (Galatasaray, 61 sels, 22 goals) and El Kaabi (Olympiakos, 32 sels, 10 goals). Also note the presence of Ligue 1 residents Targhalline (Le Havre), Richarddson (Reims), Ounahi (Marseille) and Ben Seghir (Monaco).

For Zambia, the coach has not particularly innovated by relying once again on his usual elements who play, for the most part, in Africa or in second-rate European championships. We still find in this group the former Lille and Messin Sunzu (85 sel) who plays in China and the promising Chaiwa (Young Boys). Also pay attention to striker Paston Daka (Leicester, 40 caps, 18 goals) who is coming off a very convincing season with the Foxes in the Champions League.
