Morocco have not lost a competitive game within 90 minutes since a 1-0 vs Portugal in 2018.
Morocco recently held AFCON holders Algeria to a 1-1 draw in the FIFA Arab Cup.
Ghana lost 3-0 to that same Algeria team just a couple of weeks later.
Ghana failed to win seven of the 11 all-time H2Hs between these nations.
Atlas Lions head into AFCON in roaring form

Even without the talismanic Hakim Ziyech in their squad, Morocco look a top class outfit heading into this AFCON tournament with the likes of Sevilla pair En Nesyri & El Haddadi, PSG star Hakimi, QPR star Chair and more set to feature here.

While they have not won this tournament since 1976 and they are not amongst the front runners in the outright betting, you would be a fool to underestimate this Morocco team who have conceded just twice within 90 minutes across their last 13 games (W12, D1).

Ghana need consistency to go far

Look out for a few familiar faces in this Ghana squad such as Arsenal’s midfield man Thomas Partey, Leicester’s Daniel Amartey and Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace. There is much more talent than those notable Premier League stars, but they will need those guys firing if they want to go far.

Ghana finished in the top-four in six of the last seven AFCON tournaments, aside from a round of 16 exit in the most recent edition against Tunisia on penalties. Moreover, Ghana only won one of their three group games en route to progressing.

Overall, I think Morocco just about edge this clash at a brilliant price given the consistency of their team selection and terrific form across the last few years. I expect the Atlas Lions could win this one by a slender 1-0 margin to announce themselves in this competition.




译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

自2018年1-0战胜葡萄牙以来，摩洛哥还没有在90分钟内输过一场比赛。
摩洛哥最近在阿拉伯杯中与AFCON主办国阿尔及利亚1-1战平。
仅仅几周后，加纳就以0 - 3输给了同样的阿尔及利亚队。
在这些国家之间的11场双打比赛中，加纳没有赢得7场。
阿特拉斯狮咆哮着进入AFCON

即使球队中没有齐耶克，摩洛哥队也将是一支一流的队伍，塞维利亚的内塞里和哈达迪，圣日耳曼的球星哈基米，女王巡游者的球星Chair，以及更多的球员将会出现在AFCON赛事中。

虽然摩洛哥队自1976年以来就没有赢得过世界杯冠军，而且他们也不在直接赌注的领跑者之列，但如果你低估了这支摩洛哥队，那就太愚蠢了。他们在过去的13场比赛(第12场比赛，第1场比赛)中，在90分钟内只失球两次。

加纳需要持之以恒才能走得更远

加纳队中有几个熟悉的面孔，比如阿森纳的中场托马斯·帕提，莱斯特的丹尼尔·阿马蒂和水晶宫的乔丹·阿尤。比起那些著名的英超球星，他们有更多的天赋，但如果他们想走得更远，他们需要解雇这些人。

在过去的七届AFCON锦标赛中，加纳有六次进入前四名，除了在最近的一届比赛中，加纳在点球大战中被突尼斯淘汰出局。此外，加纳在小组赛的三场比赛中只赢了一场。

总的来说，我认为摩洛哥在这场冲突中付出了巨大的代价，因为他们在过去几年里阵容的稳定性和出色的表现。我希望阿特拉斯雄狮能以1比0的微弱优势赢得这场比赛，并在这场比赛中宣布自己的名字。
