PREDICTION

Coached by the former Wydad Casablanca manager Walid Regragui, Morocco achieved a semi-final berth in the FIFA World Cup just over a year ago, and the Atlas Lions have set their sights on clinching victory in this tournament. With an impressive group stage performance, amassing seven points without conceding a goal, they now confront a South African team that faced an initial loss to Mali, followed by a convincing victory over Namibia and a goalless draw with Tunisia. Despite South Africa's improvement, Morocco remain the clear favourites for this encounter.
