The match takes place at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah in Rabat, where the atmosphere will be electric as the host nation looks to cement their top spot.

In this article, you will discover the latest Football Predictions from our experts at XpertStats.
- Morocco leads Group A with four points after two matches, following a win against Comoros and a draw with Mali.
- Zambia remains winless in their last 11 Africa Cup of Nations matches, a streak dating back to their 2012 title win.
- The Atlas Lions have dominated this fixture recently, winning all of their last five meetings against Chipolopolo.
- Patson Daka has been the primary source of goals for Zambia, scoring their only strike of the tournament so far.
- The tournament hosts have not lost a match in their last 10 outings across all international competitions.
- Zambia has struggled defensively of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five matches.
Ahead of Morocco's decisive AFCON group stage clash against Zambia, head coach Walid Regragui reaffirmed his status as the right leader for the Atlas Lions. Despite recent criticism following a draw with Mali, Regragui and key defender Achraf Hakimi emphasized the goal of finishing top of the group to stay in Rabat. The coach also highlighted Brahim Diaz as a vital component of the squad's pursuit of continental glory.
Backing Morocco to win is the most sensible play here given the statistical gulf between these two nations. The Atlas Lions have remained unbeaten in their last 10 matches, showing a level of consistency that few teams in Africa can replicate. On the other hand, Zambia has struggled to find a winning formula, managing only one victory in their last 10 outings. The tactical setup under Regragui focuses on high possession and suffocating the opponent, which usually leads to Zambia being forced into deep defensive blocks. Eventually, the quality of the Moroccan midfield should find the necessary gaps. Furthermore, Zambia’s defense has been leaky, conceding nine goals in their last five games. Against an attack featuring En-Nesyri and Diaz, that lack of defensive solidity will likely be exploited. Expect Morocco to exert their dominance early and secure all three points in front of their home fans.
Statistical trends point toward at least two goals in this Rabat showdown. Morocco’s games in 2025 have averaged 2.2 goals per match, while Zambia’s fixtures have been even more volatile, averaging 2.9 goals. This suggests that both teams are involved in matches where the scoreline moves. Even though tournament football can be defensive, the defensive record of Zambia is a concern; they have conceded an average of two goals per match recently. Morocco’s creative players will likely find joy against a backline that has struggled under pressure. Additionally, 67% of the recent meetings between these two have actually gone over 2.5 goals, so the lower threshold of 1.5 seems very achievable. Whether it is a dominant 2-0 win for the hosts or a competitive 1-1 draw, the likelihood of seeing multiple goals is backed by both current form and historical data.
