Atlas Lions to roar into quarter-finals
Unbeaten after three matches, Morocco are showing why they are amongst the favourites to win the AFCON.
A resounding 3-0 win over Tanzania set the tone. Although D.R. Congo held Morocco to a 1-1 draw, they finished the group with another victory over Zambia to top Group F.
Despite South Africa blowing Namibia away, they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Mali in their opening match.
Their draw with Tunisia wasn’t impressive. Since they are up against a much tougher opponent filled with star players, South Africa’s time in the competition could be over.
Bet 1: Morocco to win and over 1.5 goals @ 2.07 with Bet9ja
Moroccan Lions to tame Bafana Bafana
South Africa’s win over Namibia has been their only win in their last five matches. They have failed to score in any of the other four, losing to Mali and Rwanda.
Morocco, on the other hand, remain unbeaten in their last eight matches, having won six of those.
They were leading at half-time in all six of those matches. Once Morocco get in front, they rarely throw away their lead.
Considering they are far superior to South Africa, who don’t often score, one goal might be enough to see our second tip finish as a winner.
Bet 2: Morocco to win half-time/full-time @ 2.20 with Bet9ja
Former Chelsea winger to fire once more
Galatasaray’s winger scored his first AFCON goal in Morocco’s 1-0 victory over Zambia, potentially kickstarting his tournament.
Facing another team inclined to sit back and defend, Ziyech will want to take full advantage of the space in and around the 18-yard box.
The former Chelsea player thoroughly enjoys cutting in from the right hand side and striking from afar. He also enjoys running into the box to tap home from a close range.
Morocco don’t have an out and out goalscorer. With South Africa looking to keep their strikers at bay, they may miss the run of Ziyech.
Bet 3: Hakim Ziyech to score anytime @ 3.0 with Bet9ja
Sevilla striker to lead from the front
Youssef En Nesyri scored in Morocco’s first match against Tanzania, but he has yet to add to his tally.
The Sevilla forward has only featured in two matches, having been rested against Zambia after Morocco had already qualified for the knockout stage.
Fresh and rested ahead of this fixture, the Spain-based striker has already scored five goals in 17 La Liga appearances this season. This is why he’ll be a threat against South Africa.
En Nesyri is a powerful striker, and Morocco will need to step up in this tournament if they are to be successful. He can lead the way against a weaker opponent and land us another winner.
Bet 4: Youssef En Nesyri to score anytime @ 2.60 with Bet9ja
