Looking at the Congo vs Morocco odds, we can see that the hosts are the expected winners and it's not even close, so the bookies clearly don't see Congo having any chance even though they're hosting the match.
This is understandable since Congo are in poor form, while Morocco are one of the best African teams. Furthermore, Morocco have done well recently and enter this match after two wins in their last three games.

Last five H2Hs: Morocco dominating the matchup
With four wins in the six duels with Congo so far, Morocco have clearly been the better team of the two.
Congo preview: Hoping to end their poor streak of results
With four games in a row without a win, Congo have clearly struggled lately. When it comes to their results in the WC qualifiers, Congo have only played one match so far, which has ended in a loss to Zambia. Overall, Congo's chances of reaching the next stage are quite slim, but if they can get a positive result against Morocco, things might start to look up for them.
Predicted lineup: Vimalin (GK), Illoy-Ayyet, Andzouana, Passi, Tsouka, Makoumbou, Dembi, Avounou Makouta, Ganvoula & Bassouamina

Morocco preview: Looking for their third win in the qualifiers
The first team from Africa to ever reach a World Cup semi-final started the qualifiers for the upcoming World Cup with a couple of wins, as expected. Morocco have beaten Zambia and Tanzania and showed why they are the mean favourites to finish top of the group and reach the next stage.

Player to watch: Youssef En-Nesyri
With 16 goals in the Spanish league this season for Sevilla, En-Nesyri had one of his best seasons in the club. Will he manage to translate that into his upcoming international performances?
Can En-Nesyri improve his goalscoring tally in national team?
With 20 goals for his national team so far, En-Nesyri is one of Morocco's best scorers at the moment. However, he only scored one goal for Morocco this year and he'll be hoping to improve that against Congo.
