Zambia– Morocco: one final test to prove ambitions 
Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium hosts a Monday clash with mismatched stakes. Morocco’s Atlas Lions have already booked a place in the knockouts and want to calm nerves, while Zambia’s Copper Bullets still have their tournament on the line in this messy Group A.
Zambia still on a knife-edge 
Two games unbeaten but no wins — Zambia’s walking a tightrope. A stoppage-time draw with Mali, then a cagey affair with Comoros, kept Moses Sichone’s men alive heading into the final day.
The table is tight and anything can happen. A win would catapult the Copper Bullets to the top of the group; a slip could send them home early depending on other results.
Still chasing their first win in the competition since lifting the trophy in 2012, the Zambians know this is a rare chance to end a long drought.
Morocco on notice 
Morocco have sealed their spot in the last 16, but their performances so far haven’t convinced. A lacklustre win over Comoros, then a draw with Mali, leaves them looking rusty.
The Atlas Lions have been calm from the spot, but their attacking play and creativity are works in progress. In front of their fans the demand is higher, and the staff want a collective reaction.
Freed from elimination stress, the Moroccans now need to show a sharper edge before the finals.
Tactical choices and squad management
Zambia arrive with a full squad, so their coach can stick to a settled side. Stability might be the edge in a game where discipline counts.
On Morocco’s side, tweaks are looming. Some senior players are short on sharpness; fresh attacking options could add depth and movement.
Probable line-ups
Zambia : Mwanza, M. Banda, B. Sakala, Chanda, Musonda, Tembo, Simukonda, L. Banda, Kangwa, F. Sakala, Daka
Morocco : Bono, Mazraoui, El Yamiq, Aguerd, Salah-Eddine, El Aynaoui, Ben Seghir, Ounahi, Diaz, En-Nesyri, El Khannouss
What to keep in mind
- Morocco are already qualified but far from perfect.
- Zambia are playing for qualification in this match.
- The group is still wide open before the final day.
- A Moroccan response is expected in front of their crowd.
Football Prediction Morocco vs Zambia
Morocco to win
Against a willing but defensively iffy Zambia, Morocco have the technical edge. A cleaner performance should let the Atlas Lions finish the group unbeaten.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot reading — not a guarantee. Sport’s unpredictable: a red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something seems “obvious”, it isn’t. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or income source. If it takes over your life, irritates you or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialised organisation — that’s what they’re for.
- In the end, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting risk exists and it won’t vanish, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral quickly (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
