Newly crowned AFCON title winners, Morocco, albeit in controversial circumstances, will be eager to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions with a positive result against Norway in this upcoming international friendly at the Sports Illustrated Stadium having put together an amazing 28-game unbeaten sequence.
Morocco were awarded the win in the AFCON final against Senegal after the Senegal coach ordered his players off the filed following a contentious penalty decision, but nevertheless The Atlas Lions are worthy of being serious challengers for another deep run in this upcoming World Cup.
Indeed, they became the first African nation to ever reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in the previous edition in Qatar and having collected no fewer than 25 wins within their last 28 internationals including winning all eight of their World Cup qualifying group games, Mohamed Ouahbi’s side look a tough side to beat.
Norway equalled Morocco’s exploits in their respective World Cup qualifying campaign in the European section as Stale Solbakken’s side fairly breezed through qualification and finished six points above their nearest Group I rivals and runners-up, Italy.
Norwegian and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland notched up a ridiculous 16-goal tally during qualification but chances in front of goal may be fewer and further between in this upcoming international against a well-drilled and well-organised Moroccan defence, and then in the subsequent World Cup.
However, Norway have slipped to just one defeat in their last 15 internationals overall whilst picking up 12 wins in the process, so they too will fancy their chances of progressing from the group stage and into the knockout rounds of the World Cup for what would be only the second time in their footballing history.
The Betting Verdict
Morocco and Norway have met only once before which ended in a 2-2 draw in the 1998 World Cup and although Norway pose a serious threat in front of goal, The Atlas Lions should stand firm and at least avoid defeat here.
The Pick :
Morocco 1-1 Norway
