Morocco are one of the favorites at the 2021 AFCON tournament and will be seeking to secure their ticket for the second round when they face off with Comoros on Match Day 2 of the competition. While Comoros are still in search of their first points of the competition, Morocco are top of Group C with three points. The North Africans beat Ghana 1-0 in their opening game and looking at their profile, against Comoros, anything but a win here will be a failure for the Moroccans. In this tournament, they are seeking a second AFCON title and will be looking to rest key men in the third game so Morocco will want to secure their second round ticket here. That’s not the news Comoros will want. Morocco have eight clean sheets and nine wins in the last 10 matches. They’ve also scored two or more goals in eight of their last 10 matches.
Comoros are first timers in this competition and are among the top favorites to exit at the group stages. They’ve already lost to Gabon, who are considered the third best in the four teams in this group. A 16th minute goal from Aaron Boupendza sealed their fate in the game and Comoros will know it is tougher against Morocco. The minnows have managed just three clean sheets in their last 10 matches and go to this game on two straight defeats. They have failed to score in three of their last 10 matches and while their scoring run is one aspect they will want to bring to this game, they face one of the toughest nations in Africa, good in both defence and attack.
Morocco are a solid team and Comoros are going to experience that. The North Africans managed to keep Ghana’s more experienced forwards at bay, and we don’t expect that they will struggle a lot against Comoros. Morocco are good in attack and defence and we are backing them to win with a clean sheet.
