Match Preview
| In a crunch tie for top-spot of Group D, one-time winners Morocco (Fifa rank: #47) take on two-time winners Ivory Coast (#62) in a tighter-than-tight matchup. As well as both teams holding an identical record in the qualifiers (W3, D2, L1), both won their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) openers 1-0. |
| After snapping a nine-game H2H winless run in all competitions with two consecutive wins ‘to-nil’ (inc. friendlies), Morocco are now looking to go seven games unbeaten in the AFCON (including qualifiers). An 89th-minute own goal gave the ‘Atlas Lions’ victory in their opening game and added to an impressive record of 53.85% cleansheets in 26 previous competitive matches (W14, D7, L5). |
| Also hoping to go seven games unbeaten (including qualifiers), Ivory Coast left it to the second half to beat South Africa in equally uninspiring fashion. It is worth noting that the ‘Elephants’ have drawn eight competitive games 0-0 since September 2016 (W7, D12, L8) and have seen 65.38% of such games produce under 2.5 goals (total). |
| Scoring two or more goals in 35.56% of 45 previous games since 2016, Ivory Coast meet a Morocco team who’ve netted twice or more in 51.11% of 45 previous games (inc. friendlies). |
| Players to watch: Ajax’s Hakim Ziyech (MOR) had a blinding 2018/19 domestic run (21 goals in all competitions) and scored a brace in a recent international friendly. |
| Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia (IVO) has ten international goals from 20 call-ups and has scored in his last two outings. |
| Stat attack: These teams’ tournament openers, as well as their last two H2H meetings, saw under nine corners (total). |
| Both teams have scored in 26.92% and 30.77% of Morocco and Ivory Coast’s last 26 competitive matches, respectively. |
| In 24 combined competitive games since their last meeting, 41.67% of those games saw goals in both halves. |
