Morocco vs Niger Prediction
Eritrea had to withdraw from Group E and so there is just five teams in the group, and therefore raising the level of competitiveness between the sides, but there has been a runaway winner.
Under the management of Walid Regragui, 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-finalists Morocco have got an even better squad than then and they are dominant in this group with five victories from five, sitting six points clear of Tanzania and nine ahead of both Zambia and Niger with three games to go, albeit the latter do have a game in hand as they seek to finish second and earn themselves a runner up spot.
Congo have been woeful and Niger have taken advantage of that to keep themselves alive, but this is a very different standard and Morocco should win with ease.
