Morocco takes on the visitors Gabon at “Stade Mohamed V” in the matchday five of the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Casablanca on Saturday, October 7th.
Morocco comes up to the crucial qualify stage in high spirit and great competitive form, having not failed in last four clashes. This September the Moroccans faced the Malians twice, having got 6:0 win and 0:0 draw. With four rounds behind, Morocco has six points taken with 6-0 goal difference. With the exception of thrashing 6:0 victory over Mali, three other qualification encounters ended with 0:0 draws.

Having beaten Ivory Coast with 2:1 scoreline on the road in recent gameweek, Gabon broke its 11-match no-win run which has been lasted since the 6th of September 2016. During that period Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his teammates got three defeats and eight draws , moreover, all draws happened in a row. After four matchdays Gabon sits on the third position in Group C with five points earned and 2-4 goal difference keeping good chances for promotion to the Mundial. Apart from 2:1 victory over Ivory Coast, “Les Pantheres” also got 0:0 draw vs. Mali in two away battles within the group.
Gabon has not been defeated by Morocco in six recent head-to-heads since the 15th of November 2006, having earned three wins and three draws in them. Whereby, last three rivals’ meetings ended with draws and under scored goals. I believe that none should expect a number of scored goals in the forthcoming fight as well.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
