Egypt vs Morocco Prediction & Betting Tips - Men's Olympic Tournament
by Sridhar in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions
An Olympic bronze is on offer as Egypt and Morocco make one final push to be on the podium of the 2024 Paris Olympics in men’s football. This match will be played at the Stade de la Beaujoire stadium in Nantes on Thursday, and the prediction is that both teams are likely to give their best.
Both teams are chasing their first-ever medal in the history of this competition. The Atlas Lions lost out to Spain via penalties, while the Pharaohs were defeated by hosts France in additional extra time. Regional rivalry adds spice to this contest, as Egypt and Morocco have some history in the African tournament.
It was last summer in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations that Morocco defeated Egypt. Will the bigger stage of the Olympics witness a different story, or is there a rendezvous in store? Let’s take a deeper look at the form and fortunes of the two teams.

Egypt - Morocco: Form Analysis
Egypt topped Group C in the preliminary stages with two wins and a draw, finishing ahead of Spain. The quarter-finals saw the Pharaohs edge out Paraguay via penalties after drawing 1-1 during regular time. The roles were reversed in the semi-finals, as France won 3-1 in additional extra time.
Morocco won 2-1 in extra time when these two sides last met.
That was in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations final, where Morocco came back from a goal down. They would love to repeat the feat here, having failed to hold on to their lead in a 2-1 loss to Spain in the semis.
That result erased the happy memories of their 4-0 win over the United States in the last eight, after topping Group B with six points, ahead of Argentina, whom they defeated 2-1 in controversial circumstances. They had two wins and a loss in the group stage, and they will look to end their tournament on a high.

Egypt & Morocco Squad Analysis
Egypt will be without their regular center-back Omar Fayed, who is suspended for this match after picking up a red card against France. It could have been easily avoided, especially considering his first card was for protesting a referee decision. They will hope for goals from Ibrahim Adel, who has three goals to his name in this edition of the Olympics.
All eyes will be on the golden boot chasing Soufiane Rahimi.
The Morocco striker has six goals in five matches and is chasing the Golden Boot. With key midfielder Bilal El Khannous set to feature after missing the semi-final due to suspension, Morocco have all bases covered.
There’s enough experience in the Moroccan ranks as PSG defender Achraf Hakimi is set to bring back his memories of leading the senior side to a fourth-place finish at the Qatar World Cup in 2022.
While Morocco has Hakimi, Egypt has former Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny in their ranks, with the 32-year-old looking to finish off on a high.
