The Big Kick-Off: Morocco vs Comoros Match Preview & Betting Guide
Morocco vs Comoros . The wait is over, and the atmosphere at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on Sunday will be electric. Morocco is the host and also Africa’s highest ranked team in this tournament. Certainly, there is a lot of pressure to go out there and get something very positive in their first game.
They encounter a Comoros team which revels in being the underdog and relishes nothing more than causing shocks against the sport’s giants. Morocco will capitalise on home comforts by taking the lead early and easing into what is often a tight opening in tournament play.
In the meantime, Comoros will presumably flood into the midfield, trying to agitate the Atlas Lions as long as it can.
Form Guide – Recent History 📊
Morocco’s Momentum
The Atlas Lions are currently in spectacular shape. They sailed through the qualifiers, winning every one of the six games and playing some high quality football. Moreover, their U20 World Cup triumph has filled the nation with a huge amount of self-belief.
On the Rabat field, they are virtually unbeatable at home. In defence they have been an impenetrable unit over the past year with six straight shut-outs in competitive games-such a show of discipline. Their very good midfield means they dominate the ball in just about every game.

- Defensive Record: 0 Goals allowed (Last 6 games)
- Home Stats: Unbeaten in competitive games since 2009
Comoros’ Resilience
Comoros might be a smaller footballing nation, but they possess immense grit. They have improved massively since their first AFCON participation. They have few losses lately, and they usually play on the same level as their opponents.
They’re built around a compact defence and fast counter attacks. But playing the host nation in the first game is a difficult challenge. Back on the field, they lost a friendly to Mexico 3-1, which showed there are holes in their backline.
They’ll have to play a great game plan to get a result in Rabat. Despite the massive odds, some punters are eyeing the handicap markets for value.

Projected Lineups and Team Updates 🧩
Morocco Expected XI
The hosts are sweating over the availability of captain Achraf Hakimi, who is recovering from an ankle complaint. While he is back to training lightly, manager Walid Regragui could preserve him for another day.
Elsewhere, the squad is jam-packed with world-class talent. It will be a high-pressing 4-3-3 aimed at trapping Comoros in their own defensive third.
- GK: Bono
- Def: Hakimi (or Mazraoui), Aguerd, SaĂŻss, Allah
- Mid: Amrabat, Ounahi, Brahim DĂaz
- Fwd: Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Ez Abde
Comoros Expected XI
The Coelacanths will lean on their veterans to manage the intense crowd in Rabat. Stefano Cusin has picked a lineup focused on defensive chemistry.
We expect them to be camped in a low block, 4-5-1 system and not allow Morocco’s wingers time or space. They will be overly reliant on a full-back getting caught up field in such a break.
- GK: Yannick Pandor
- Def: Bakari, M’Dahoma, Soilihi, Abdallah
- Mid: M’Changama, Bourhane, Youssouf, Selemani, Lutin
- Fwd: Myziane Maolida
