Match Preview
Quarter-finalists in their last Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) appearance, Morocco (FIFA rank: #47) will be eager to avoid the same opening defeat they suffered to a lower FIFA-ranked nation. Though favourites, they will recall losing each of their warm-up games by a single-goal, twice to opposition ranked outside of the top-80 by FIFA. |
Moreover, Morocco have failed to even score in three of their last four outings; twice against opposition ranked lower than Namibia. Morocco’s H2H record makes for better reading though, with the ‘Atlas Lions’ returning a record of: W5, D1 – scoring 2.33 goals per meeting on average. |
Though they come into this on the back of a 1-0 victory over the higher-ranked Ghana (#50), Namibia (#113) could easily be in for a punishing time, having never won an AFCON game in two previous campaigns (D2, L4). |
Notably, Namibia scored no earlier than the 69th minute in any of their qualifying matches, but it’s still worth noting that they haven’t seen a goalless first half in four of their last five matches. Notably, they have been leading at half-time in each of the last two, yielding a half-time record of: W2, D2, L1, from that quartet. |
Players to watch: Moroccan ace Hakim Ziyech scored 16 goals in 29 league games for Ajax last season, and a brace in his last international start. |
Manfred Starke (NAM) has scored in three of his last six appearances for club and country, including a second-half strike to cause a huge upset against Ghana last time out. |
Stat attack: Five of Morocco’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 total goals. |
Four of Morocco’s five H2H victories have come by at least a two-goal margin. |
Namibia have averaged 2.25 bookings per match across their last four matches (in all competitions). |
Nine of the 12 total goals scored in Namibia’s qualifying matches came after half-time (75%). |
