Game Preview
Africa Cup of Nations’ Wednesday match, Zambia will be facing off against Morocco.
Zambia is set to participate in this match following a 1-1 draw against Tanzania in the same competition. In said game, Zambia maintained possession of the ball for 45% of the time and took a total of 11 shots at the goal, with 4 of them being on target. Patson Daka (88′) was the sole scorer for Zambia. On the contrary, Tanzania had 6 attempts at goal, out of which 2 were on target. Simon Msuva (11′) managed to find the back of the net for Tanzania, edging the draw.
Zambia’s ability to hold out for a full 90 minutes has been rare in recent times. Their defense has been broken in 5 out of their last 6 games, resulting in a total of 7 goals conceded.
Morocco and DR Congo played to a 1-1 draw in their previous encounter at the Africa Cup of Nations. Morocco dominated the game, controlling 54% of the possession and making 11 attempts at goal, including 4 of them hitting the target. Achraf Hakimi (6′) successfully found the back of the net for Morocco. On the other hand, DR Congo had 10 shots at goal, with 2 of them on target. Silas Katompa Mvumpa (76′) scored the only goal for DR Congo.
This was an unexpected result for Morocco, as their defensive unit has been exceptional in the tournament. Morocco’s backline has limited the opposition to a total of 3 goals in their last 6 matches. On top of that, Morocco’s frontline continues to find success on the wing, incorporating the likes of Achraf Hakimi in offensive play as well.
Overall, we see a clear winner for this matchup, with Morocco set to continue their unbeaten AFCON run.
