Morocco vs DR Congo prediction

Morocco vs DR Congo team news

Morocco

As expected, Morocco have started this edition of AFCON with a convincing win over Tanzania. After all, they are not just 3, but also one of the top candidates to go all the way. In any case, Morocco is a quality team that reached WC semi-finals, so their fans are rightfully expecting big things here.

Predicted Lineup: Bounou – Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui – Amrabat, Ziyech, Ounahi, Harit, Adli – En-Nesyri

DR Congo

Despite the fact that they've shot 25 times at goal against Zambia, DR Congo only got a point from that game and they were even behind for a short while. In an case, their next opponent is a much stronger one, but the team is healthy and they have the quality to put up a fight against Morocco.

Predicted Lineup: M'Pasi – Masuaku, Kiranga, Mbemba, Kalulu – Kakuta, Moutoussamy, Pickel, Wissa – Bongonda, Bakambu

Confirmed Morocco vs DR Congo lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to watch: Youssef En-Nesyri

Despite the fact that he's still just 26 years old, En-Nesyri already has 67 appearances for Morocco, which puts him only behind the team's captain Romain Saiss. En-Nesyri is also the team's second-best scorer behind Ziyech by one goal and he already scored once at AFCON 2023, which are all reasons why he's our player to watch in this match.
