Africa Cup of Nations Betting Preview: Zambia vs Morocco

Zambia square off against host nation Morocco in this Africa Cup of Nations Group A clash at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, with kick-off set for 14:00 on Monday 29 December.

There’s a definite case for backing Under 2.5 when it comes to the Total Goals market. Zambia and Morocco could be set for a low-scoring contest and we’re keen to grab the odds of -114.

Last time out, Zambia played out a 0–0 draw with Comoros at Stade Mohamed V. The Copper Bullets enjoyed 47% possession, but were unable to record a shot on target.

In their last outing, Morocco were held to a 1–1 draw by Mali at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. Walid Regragui's side had four shots on goal and enjoyed 61% possession, with Brahim Diaz on the scoresheet.
