Benin still managed to get to the playoffs. It happened thanks to a draw against Cameroon in the last round, and Benin took 3rd place in its group, as well as in that one with 6 participants (additional quote). However, the Squirrels have written a new page in their history. They will play in the Cup of Nations playoffs for the first time. Well, enough records for the team in one tournament.
The national team of Benin is staffed by footballers playing in the 2nd French league for Niort, Sochaux, and there is also a representative of the highest division from Amiens. It has Mounie playing in the English Premier League for Huddersfield. And of course, Sessegnon from Gencherberligi is the most experienced man, who previously played both for Sunderland and West Brom and for Montpellier and even for PSG. However, this will not be enough to stand on equal terms with the legion of Atlas lions. Reims, Saint-Etienne, Leganes, Girona, Malaga, Celta, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, AZ Alkmaar, Ajax, Sassuolo, Borussia (D). Still, there is some difference in the names of the clubs with those where representatives of Benin play. And this difference will fully be proved in the field, where the Moroccans will pragmatically undermine the opponent's defense like in all 3 previous matches. They will score a goal (maybe the only one in the game again) and surely bring the match to victory. The teams met 4 times in their history, and Morocco won all 4 matches.
Prediction for the match: Morocco to win
