PREDICTION

Managed by the former head of Wydad Casablanca, Walid Regragui, Morocco made it to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup a little over 12 months ago and are now determined to secure victory in this tournament. Boasting a flawless record of seven points without conceding in the group stage, they are set to take on a South African side that experienced an opening loss to Mali but rebounded with a strong win against Namibia, concluding with a goalless draw against Tunisia. Despite South Africa's progress, Morocco stand as the strong favourite in this matchup.
