The Moroccans are a force to reckon with in African football but they have not been a dominant opponent when it comes to facing Gabon over the years; the two sides face off in Group C of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers with Morocco seeking a first win over the West African nation since 2006. Indeed, that win, in a friendly match in the two sides’ first ever meeting, is the only win Morocco have ever managed over Gabon. However, Morocco will head to this game as favorites, with two wins, two draws and a loss in their last five matches. Playing at home they have four wins and a loss in the last five matches and scored 13 goals in the process, conceding three. They have lost twice at home in the last 16 matches and have scored in 14 matches of the last 16 at home. Morocco are placed second on six points, one behind group leaders Ivory Coast. Gabon comes third with five points buoyed by their shock win away to Ivory Coast in their last match. Gabon head to the game with a win, two losses and two draws in their last five matches. Playing away from home they have a win, a loss and three straight draws in the last five and have managed six goals and conceded five. They have three wins in their last 15 World Cup qualifying matches away from home. Head to head, the two nations have met seven times and Morocco have one win, Gabon three.
