Morocco vs Liberia prediction 17.10.2023.

• Competition: Africa Cup of Nations, Qualifiers
• Date: Tuesday, 17th October 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stade Adrar (Agadir)

In recent years, Morocco has emerged as potentially the top team in Africa. With a highly skilled and youthful squad, many of whom play for reputable European teams, they have garnered attention. Their impressive performance in the previous World Cup, securing a 4th place finish, further solidified their reputation. The ongoing African Cup of Nations Qualifiers should be relatively straightforward for Morocco, as Zimbabwe has been disqualified and Liberia is far from matching their caliber. Presently, they hold the 2nd position in the group with six points. However, with an expected victory over Liberia, they will ascend to the top spot.

Liberia is considered to be among the least competitive teams in Africa. Currently ranked 150th in the world and 44th out of 52 teams in Africa, their presence in major tournaments is infrequent. They have yet to make an appearance in the World Cup and have only participated twice in the Africa Cup of Nations, in 1996 and 2002. Currently positioned in 3rd place with just one point after three rounds, it appears highly likely that they will once again fail to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Morocco vs Liberia pick: Morocco to win

In the last six games across all competitions, Morocco only suffered a single defeat, which occurred during an away match against South Africa. However, even in that particular game, it can be argued that they deserved at least a draw. Overall, Morocco is a highly skilled team and has proven their ability to triumph over formidable opponents, as demonstrated in their performance at the World Cup. Therefore, they should encounter no difficulties in defeating Liberia.

Liberia’s recent performance has been dreadful, with only one win in their last 12 games. Defensively, they have been absolutely woeful, conceding a total of 13 goals in their last five matches across all competitions, averaging 2.6 goals per game.

Morocco emerged victorious in their previous head-to-head game against Liberia, securing a 2-0 win in June. Considering the significant gap in quality and form, anything other than a convincing victory for Morocco in their upcoming match would be an incredibly surprising outcome for us.
