South Africa vs Morocco Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON

Prediction published on 30/06/2019, 15:34  by Steve Ashfield in AFCON Prediction

Two wins have taken Morocco into the last 16 of the African Cup of Nations. They have won both of their games to date but a loss to South Africa would see them lose top spot. They are ranked 47th in the world and that's 25 places above their opponents. Morocco had poor form coming into this tournament losing three friendlies in a row. They have found some form in the past week though with two 1-0 wins over Nambia (thanks to an 89th minute own goal) and Ivory Coast. Looking at their recent form, seven of their last eight games have had under 1.5 goals scored in them with five clean sheets.

South Africa are third in this group with three points from their two games. They started off with a 1-0 defeat to Ivory Coast but revived their qualification hopes with a 1-0 win over Namibia. The South Africans have only one loss in their last five games and that includes two penalty shoot-out wins in the COSAFA Cup. Their last five games have all had under 2.5 goals scored in them and the tip here is for that stat to come up again in this match.
