Ivory Coast national “A” football team takes on the visitor Morocco national “A” football team at “Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny” in the gameweek six of the Third qualification stage of the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Abidjan on Saturday, November 11th.
Ivory Coast may always rely on its high-class players who have tremendous success in Europe. The team is a constant participant of the World Cups where it performs quite well but practically always drawn in very difficult companies there. At this point Ivory Coast occupies the second place in Group C, having gained eight points with 7-3 goal difference in five encounters played. The side shows rather inconsistent results in face of its fans, having lost its recent home clashes to Benin 0:1 and Gabon 1:2 with single 1:0 triumph over Togo earned.

Morocco is very willing to promote to the final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, therefore, it demonstrates rather convincing football in the current qualifying cycle. The team is leading in Group C standings with nine points taken after five matchdays played. Morocco’s defense is excellent as the squad hasn’t conceded any goal yet, having scored nine goals instead. The upcoming visitors look not very confident at away pitches, but shut out perfectly well as it deserved two back-to-back draws in recent clashes: 0:0 against Mali and 1:1 vs. Egypt.
Since 2003 Ivory Coast has lost only one out of eight head-to-head against Morocco, consequently, the hosting side will do anything to beat Morocco at its home field, however, one shouldn’t forget about the rock-solid defense of the visiting team.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
