Morocco meets Ivory Coast in round 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Friday, June 28th atAl Salam Stadium (Cairo)
The Moroccans started the tournament very unexpectedly. The men of Herve Renard scratched out the victory over the modest Namibia team only in the 89th minute, with the help of its own goal (1-0). The Moroccans should remember how difficult this group. They are to play with the Ivorians and South Africans, and if we look at the game with the obvious outsider, their prospects for progressing from the group from the first two lines are quite vague... But Morocco has already earned three points in its asset, and now, in principle, the team can play from this position, which means that it will completely pleased with the draws in the remaining two meetings of the group stage. Surely, the Moroccans will offer their rival their favorite non-scoring football, in which Renard's men feel quite confident.

The Ivorian team made a decent step to progress from the group because it beat a direct competitor, the South Africans, in the first round! The victory of the Elephants was not bright, only 1-0, but the task was accomplished! This African Cup is quite special for Ivory Coast since everyone is waiting for its rehabilitation after the failed Cup in 2017, when the Elephants scored two points in the group and naturally could not get out of it. And they were not allowed to go to the playoffs by the very Moroccans, who beat the Elephants (1–0) in the third round of the group stage. So, the Ivorian team will surely want to give a favor to the Moroccan team! In general, these teams have met many times over the past five years. Both of them lost and won, played in a draw. Generally, the results changed, but the goal fixture has always remained the same! The team didn’t score more than two goals, and this trend clearly has every chance of continuing in this match!
If we look at first matches, both teams showed that they are not the fans of scoring football. They perfectly understand that a victory in this match will send them to the playoffs, and if there is a draw, then it will be a very good result either. That’s why the teams won’t gain incredible speed and show fiery football.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
