AFCON 2025 hosts Morocco wrap up their Group A campaign against Zambia on Monday night knowing performance now matters as much as points.
The Atlas Lions sit top of the group with four points after beating Comoros and drawing with Mali, but the latter result exposed lingering frustrations in front of goal.
AFRICA PICKS: Morocco vs Zambia – AFCON bets to bank on
Zambia, unbeaten after two draws, arrive with everything still to play for. The 2012 champions need a positive result to keep their knockout hopes alive and finally snap a long winless AFCON run. Their resilience has kept them competitive, even if goals have been hard to come by.
Morocco are expected to be stronger here, with Achraf Hakimi fit to start and Youssef En-Nesyri tipped for his first XI appearance of the tournament. Brahim Díaz remains central to their attacking threat.
