South Africa vs Morocco Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON
by Steve Ashfield in AFCON Predictions
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.

Our South Africa vs Morocco Prediction
Group D of the African Cup of Nations has been a consistent one. All four games played to date have ended in a 1-0 scoreline and this looks like being another low-scoring match. A draw would suit both teams as four points for South Africa would surely be enough to take them into the last 16, even if as only one of the best third-placed teams. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game looks a good one.
