Bitesize Prediction: Zambia vs Morocco – 08/09/25

Competition: World Cup Qualifiers

Market: Morocco win

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

Simply looking to extend on their sensational World Cup qualifying romp, a high-flying Morocco will travel to Zambia on Monday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, enduring what was a public African Nations Championship nightmare last month, Zambia are enduring what has been another extended crisis. Losing all of their four Group A appearances by an aggregate score of 8-2 as they finished rock-bottom of the table, Avram Grant finds a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. Failing to collect a single competitive victory across any competition over the past 11 months, the one-time Chelsea boss has seen his struggling squad show some glaring issues at both ends of the pitch. Last seen on August 17th falling to a toothless 1-0 loss at the hands of Kenya, the Copper Bullets will be more than aware that they face another monumental challenge when they return to home soil on Monday afternoon. Hit with a routine 3-1 drumming when they last met Morocco for an African Nations Championship showdown on August 14th, it is no surprise that Grant’s side are pencilled in as a major underdog contender here.

As for the visitors, marking their return to World Cup qualifying duties last week with another sensational display, Morocco are enjoying what has been another extended purple patch. Cruising their way to a routine 5-0 romp at home against Niger on Friday night, Walid Regragui’s side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Crowned African Nations champions for a third time on August 30th as they clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory against Madagascar, the Atlas Lions have now won all of their previous six appearances across all competitions and they have also gained a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances in the final third. Including consecutive 3-1 wins against Zambia and DR Congo last month, Monday’s guests are simply looking to extend on their dominant run of form. Already cruising their way to top spot in Group E, it is no surprise that Morocco are pencilled in as a standout contender here. Likewise, winning all of their last four straight showdowns against the Copper Bullets by an aggregate score of 9-3, we are backing a similar outcome here.
