Morocco will set out to protect the only 100% record left in the CAF 2026 World Cup qualifiers when they renew hostilities with Niger at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah on Friday night.
A 2-1 victory in the most recent edition of this fixture saw the hosts come out on top for the fifth time in as many meetings, and the visitors will be aiming to turn the tide with the unlikeliest of wins in Rabat.
Becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, Morocco made history in the most recent edition of football’s biggest event, so many would have expected them to feature at the newly expanded tournament next year.
Morocco have come out on top in five straight matches heading into their upcoming assignment, where the North Africans will seek to take one step closer towards a third consecutive World Cup berth for the first time and a seventh overall.
Unbeaten in competitive matches on home turf since 2019, Friday’s hosts have been near-impossible to topple in front of their fans, and it is hard to see them coming away with anything other than all three points here.
Morocco are performing at a high level at the moment and are favourites to run out emphatic winners.
We are strongly backing the hosts to make light work of their visitors and stroll to a routine victory.
