Morocco’s display in their group stage outings was impressive enough. They were unbeaten in all the matches and have claimed the group title ahead of Congo. They will meet South Africa in their AFCON knockout match on Tuesday.

Morocco extended their unbeaten run to eight games by adding three from their AFCON group stage outings.
Morocco’s defensive line has kept a clean sheet in two of their three group stage outings.
South Africa was winless in four of the last five matches and it includes two AFCON matches.

Morocco will enter this match following a 1-0 victory over Zambia. That victory helped them to claim the Group F title. It was their second victory this season, and they have netted 5 goals in their three AFCON games.

Meanwhile, South Africa started off this AFCON season with a 2-0 defeat against Mali. The team bounced back with a 4-0 victory over Namibia and added a goalless draw to make a thread of two unbeaten games. However, the in-form Morocco side will definitely give a tough time for the South Africa side.

Recent Meetings

They have met eight times in the past and South Africa won three, while Morocco won two.
Morocco has an upper hand in the recent tradition since they were unbeaten in five of the past six clashes against South Africa.
Morocco is on a four-match unbeaten streak against South Africa in the head-to-head meetings in which they had the hosting advantage.

Morocco vs South Africa Prediction

Their latest clash with Morocco being the hosting side was in June 2022, and the match ended in a highly competitive 2-1 ft score. However, the current display of both teams looks different. The South African side has a three-match winless streak on the road. They lost the past two road trips in a row and failed to score in both.

On the other side, Morocco has a very strong defensive line this season. They have allowed just one so far this season. Considering all these observations, we like to suggest Morocco to win as the main betting pick for this match. Our second pick will be the under 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no combined tip.
