The Atlas Lions of Morocco are set to clash with Sierra Leone in a friendly match on Thursday evening. This game serves as their final preparations for the 2024 AFCON tournament commencing next weekend.

The Atlas Lions from Morocco last played at the end of November when they journeyed to Tanzania for their inaugural 2026 World Cup qualifying match. After a 2-0 victory, Walid Regragui’s team secured three points. A similar outcome this Thursday would position them well for the impending Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

Meanwhile, Sierra Leone has again failed to qualify for the AFCON, marking their tenth failure in the last eleven attempts, due to their third-place finish in Group A. Despite expectations that Alhaji Foray’s team would bounce back, their performance remains unchanged as they head into Thursday's match with a three-game losing streak. The Leone Stars also didn’t manage to secure victories in their first two qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and let in five goals in their latest friendly against the Ivory Coast.

Morocco vs Sierra Leone Betting Tips: Both teams to score — No

Recently, Morocco’s defense in their games has been nearly flawless. In their last two games, Walid Regragui’s team emerged victorious without letting in a single goal. Furthermore, “Both Teams To Score &— No” bets were successful in five of their past seven games.

At present, Sierra Leone’s attack is struggling to score goals. They’ve only managed one goal in their last three games under Alhaji Foray's leadership, and their recent friendlies haven’t been much better. The Leone Stars have not been able to score in half of their last ten international friendlies. We’re not confident they’ll be able to score in this match either.

Morocco

Morocco team news

Morocco’s head coach, Walid Regragui, announced top players such as Youssef En-Nesyri of Sevilla, Sofyan Amrabat of Manchester United, and Hakim Ziyech of Galatasaray.

Amrabat’s performance in the Premier League hasn’t quite met his expectations, however, he will retain his position as a midfielder for the Atlas Lions.

Amine Harit and Bilal El Khannouss are likely to support the 27-year-old, while Jawad El Yamiq hopes to start in defence.
