Morocco vs Gabon Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON
by Kennedy Kechula in AFCON Predictions
The 2025 AFCON hosts Morocco will be part of the qualification process for the event as a way of staying competitive. They will start the qualifiers with a home match against Gabon this Friday. Predictions back Morocco to win this game.
The past few years have seen a rise in Moroccan football and they will be banking on this run towards the final tournament. After a deep run at the 2022 World Cup, the Moroccan junior side did well at the recent Olympic Games.
There’s generally a good vibe at the team. The North African nation registered a fourth unbeaten game in a 6-0 win over Congo in the World Cup qualifiers in June. Playing at home elevates Morocco’s prospects of bagging a win here.
They are unbeaten at home in their last 22 matches, winning 17 of them.
Gabon was the last team to beat Morocco at home. That was five years ago when the two nations met in a friendly match in Tanger. The visitors will be eager to beat the African giants a second time as they look to take the lead in this tricky group.
Morocco, being the AFCON hosts, have their place reserved. It means only one more team from this group will secure a slot at the finals. Gabon will be motivated by their 3-2 win against Gambia in their last match.
That was their first win in four matches and the third in five to produce over 2.5 goals. In Gabon’s last 10 matches, they have no clean sheet but three times in their last six matches, they scored at least twice.

Our Morocco vs Gabon Prediction
Morocco will be meeting the last team to beat them at home, in a five-goal thriller five years ago. Gabon led thrice back them, but they don’t look to be in shape to repeat the same here.
However, the possibility for a high scoring game remains, looking at both teams’ runs ahead of this game. The two coaches have also called up top attacking talent for this game. Youssef En-Neysri is expected to lead the attack for Morocco while Gabon have Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
With such firepower, we could see plenty of goals. Our prediction for Morocco v Gabon is therefore for over 2.5 goals to be scored.
