Morocco vs Gabon Prediction
Mohamed Ouahdi remains in charge of Morocco after The Atlas Lions reached the quarter-finals of FIFA World Cup 2026. They were crowned champions of AFCON in March after the result of the final was overturned due to Senegal’s protests in that final.
Gabon narrowly missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification before then enduring a tough AFCON campaign and that prompted the international retirement of in-form Deportivo La Coruna striker and former Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Gabon will remain proactive and dangerous on the counter-attack but Morocco will expect to get back to business with a fairly comfortable victory in Rabat.
