South Africa vs Morocco
Africa Cup of Nations
Date: Monday, 1st July 2019
Kick off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Venue: Al Salam Stadium (Cairo).
South Africa beat Namibia 1-0 in their final match thanks to Bongani Zungu's header but doubts still existed because of the quality of their attack. Stuart Baxter again refused to play South African First Division Player Thembinkosi Lorch's season on the wing, clinging to his weapon after losing 1-0 to Ivory Coast.
Baxter has a difficult decision to make elsewhere as well because Dean Furman's fitness in midfield is unreliable and choosing a goalkeeper won't be easy. Darren Keet and Ronwen Williams have taken turns recently and Keet has had a tense moment against Namibia.
Even if Williams is brought back to the team for Monday's match, his confidence may go down now. It seems that confidence is a problem across the board for Bafana Bafana but they can be supported to win at 4.48 if you think South Africa can rise to their challenge.
Form Morocco & Team News
The Atlas Lions prefer substance over style at the 2019 African Cup. It is not surprising that the Herve Renard method has worked as well as people ask and Morocco won 1-0 over Namibia and Ivory Coast to show their efforts.
Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal for Morocco against the Ivory Coast but the match belonged to the one who set him up, Nordin Amrabat. Judge Ziyech is the name on everyone's lips before the 2019 African Cup of Nations campaign starts but other players certainly attract attention.
Renard knows all about getting the best from the resources available after sensationally winning the 2012 African Cup with Zambia and once again in 2015 with Ivory Coast. The Atlas Lions can be expected to win at 2.06 against South Africa, a great value considering Morocco's recent appearance is far better than both teams.
Opportunities & Predictions of Full-Time Winners
We feel that supporting lottery is the best step available for a full-time winner market. This result may also secure the playoffs for both parties, depending on the matches of South Africa and Namibia.
Predict the Target Market
It's hard to imagine a scenario where we can see more than two goals here. Below 2.5 will be a solid banker bet on the 11/20 odds.
South Africa vs. Morocco Head to Head
South Africa beat Morocco twice in their golden years shortly after returning to competitive football, but four meetings since then all ended in a draw.
The last Bafana Bafana and Lions Atlas met in International Friendly 2013 which ended in a 1-1 draw. Morocco is a much stronger team now than that while the same cannot be said about South Africa.
South Africa vs. Morocco: Prediction
We must avoid thinking who will win this match. Morocco have qualified so that they will not be 100% thirsty for victory and South Africa need to take the opportunity to get points to join them in the next round.
This is why we will choose to follow history and both teams to score need to be our main bets for this match. It is worth to put a maximum stake on this choice, and therefore this will only be an option for this game. Price is also an extraordinary value, and it's fast to go up because it can go in and down.
South African and Moroccan Betting Tips:
Both teams scored at 2.20 (6/5).
