Morocco's preparation for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers has seen them play high-profile friendly matches; they have another at home against Cape Verde. This match will be a warm up to their qualification game against South Africa later in June. Morocco need a win against South Africa to secure their place at the 2023 AFCON. Back to this friendly match, Morocco will seek to build on the games against Brazil and Peru earlier. The Atlas Lions beat Brazil 2-1 then drew 0-0 with Peru in the most recent game. Those, coming on the back of a great performance at the 2022 World Cup, tell the story of Morocco's growth. In their last 14 matches, Morocco have lost just twice – against Croatia and France. They've failed to score in just five of their last 14 matches. They've met Cape Verde three times and remain unbeaten.

This will be the first ever friendly meeting between these two nations. They last met in 2016 in AFCON qualifiers and Morocco won 2-0. That was their second straight defeat against Morocco. Coming into this game they are unbeaten in the last three matches, having won two. They beat Eswatini 1-0 in their last game for their second straight clean sheet. That win placed them in a good place to qualify for AFCON 2023. Cape Verde are preparing for a game against Togo in Group B; a win will see them qualify. They've won half of their last 10 matches but lost twice in their last four away matches.
