Gabon – Morocco : Preview & Prediction
Gabon achieves a rather good CAN, and yet has been deprived of its executives (Aubameyang, Lemina). The beginnings are successful, with a victory to launch the competition against the Comoros team, then a very good point taken against Ghana (1-1) last Friday. This very good draw allows them to be second in the group with three points ahead of their last opponent, and to consider finishing in the first two places. Better still, Gabon can finish first in Pool C if they win against Morocco. A draw would ensure him the second most. In case of defeat, we should watch the result of Ghana-Comoros, but, with 4 points, Gabon is almost guaranteed to finish among the best third, which therefore joins the rest of the competition. The objective is clear for this meeting: not to lose.
Morocco, on the other hand, is making a very good start to the competition. Although it took time against Ghana, a difficult opponent, an 83rd-minute goal from Boufal freed the Moroccans, who then got away with the three points. Against the Comoros, Morocco logically dominated, suffered no shots on target, and ended up winning very logically 2-0. With 6 points in two games, Morocco is the sole leader of the group and could therefore make a big splash by winning this match, ensuring at the same time the first place. But a draw would even be enough to finish at the top of this group C, and Morocco could well afford to rotate in a match that is ultimately not of capital importance. But the goal is still the first place in the group!
Gabon are second in the group with 4 points.
Gabon beat Comoros (1-0) before catching Ghana (1-1).
The Gabonese have won only one of their last 5 matches.
Morocco lead the group with two wins.
Morocco beat Ghana (1-0) then Comoros (2-0).
Big match to finish this group C between the first two of the group. Gabon, which hopes for the return of its executives, has the opportunity to validate this second place or even to pass in front of Morocco in case of success. Morocco, meanwhile, will want to preserve its invincibility, and therefore retain the lead of the group. The latter could well rotate a little, and be satisfied with a sharing of points that would probably satisfy everyone.
