Zambia vs Morocco Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFCON 2025

Atlas Lions are unbeaten in their last five games against the Copper Bullets.

The Zambia national football team are going to have a face-off against the Morocco national football team in their final group stage game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah is going to witness this interesting clash.

The Copper Bullets are going to face tough competition in their upcoming contest. They are yet to secure a victory in the African tournament this season. Their defensive back has been good, but they need to work on the attacking front. The Zambia national football team were held to a draw by Mali in their opening game and then by Comoros in their very next game.

The Morocco national football team were held to a draw in their previous AFCON 2025 fixture due to an underwhelming performance. They are he hosts and this is going to keep them at an advantage from the start. Atlas Lions are in top form and, with a win, will be looking to get to the round of 16.

Players to Watch

Patson Daka (Zambia)

Patson Daka will be keen to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the in-form Morocco. He has scored one goal in two Africa Cup of Nations matches and will now be looking to add more to his tally. Daka must display his top performance here, which can be beneficial for Zambia.

Brahim Diaz (Morocco)

The 26-year-old has scored a goal in the back-to-back AFCON games for the Morocco national football team and is going to play an important part in the attacking front. Brahim Diaz is going to lead the attack from the right and is going to be a constant problem for the opponent’s defence.
