Command Analysis

Morocco is performing well in the World Cup qualifying round. In June, in the third and fourth rounds, the Moroccans beat Zambia on their home field 2:1, and then steamrolled Congo 6:0. Thanks to these results, the team is leading its group for the right to go to the main football festival of 2026.
They failed to show their worth in the African Cup of Nations. The team advanced from the group, but lost to South Africa 0-2 in the 1/8 finals, although they were huge favourites in that match. Now they have a chance to show their worth in the African Cup of Nations.

Gabon are giving it their all in the World Cup qualifiers and after four rounds played are in second place in the standings with nine points.

1.88Tip and bets
Gabon, like Morocco, is currently in good shape, so we are inclined to think that despite the away nature of the game, the Gabonese footballers will not leave the field with a donut on the scoreboard. But they themselves are also very likely to concede more than once.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.55
Bet on the outcome
With all due respect to Gabon, Morocco is much stronger, plus they will be playing the match on their home field. So we will bet on the hosts to win, and it will not be a minimal one.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Morocco with odds of 1.77
Bet on corners
Both teams prefer to play in an attacking style, so there is a high probability that they will be able to make quite a few corner flag passes between them.
Betting Tip - total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
