Morocco know all too well what comes with hosting a major tournament. Expectations are sky high, memories are long, and supporters want answers. Walid Regragui’s side are aiming to avoid becoming just the sixth host nation to lose an AFCON opener. Even without a fully fit Achraf Hakimi and with Sofyan Amrabat also doubtful, the Atlas Lions still carry serious pedigree. This is Africa’s top ranked side, unbeaten in competitive matches since their shock loss to South Africa in January. Can they finally translate World Cup momentum into continental success? That’s the big question.

As the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off with Morocco facing Comoros, Achraf Hakimi projects calm confidence despite returning from a recent ankle injury. The Morocco captain, supported by coach Walid Regragui, emphasized collective strength, emotional control, and ambition to win the tournament at home. Hakimi’s recovery has been carefully managed, and his potential involvement will be decided match by match.

Morocco (-1.5) @1.50
Morocco (-1.5) looks justified given the context of this opener. The Atlas Lions are unbeaten in competitive matches since January and arrive with the pressure and motivation that come with hosting AFCON. Historically, host nations often start fast, and Morocco will want to avoid any nerves by taking control early. They have beaten Comoros three times in four meetings and recently won 3 1 in the Arab Cup. Even with Hakimi and Amrabat doubts, Morocco’s depth remains superior across every line. Youssef En Nesyri leads the attack with 25 international goals and has proven reliable in tournament football. Comoros are organised and dangerous on the counter, but they rarely keep clean sheets, which is risky against sustained pressure. Over 90 minutes, Morocco’s possession dominance and quality in wide areas should create enough chances to stretch the scoreline. A two goal win feels realistic if the hosts strike first.
