South Africa vs Morocco Betting Tips

• Morocco to win @ 117/100 with Betking
• Lyle Foster to score anytime 
• Over 2.5 goals @ 43/25 with Betking

Class to tell as Lions set to roar in Johannesburg

Just before Christmas Morocco became the first African or Arab nation to reach the semi-finals of a FIFA World Cup. A 2-0 defeat to France ended the dream there and this will be the Atlas Lions’ first competitive fixture since their incredible campaign in Qatar. 

Although the favourite to win it is a surprise to see Walid Regragui’s side available as big as 117/100 in the South Africa vs Morocco odds. This is possibly down to the fact both sides have already qualified for the finals in Ivory Coast. 

However, due to ticket prices being slashed there is expected to be a crowd of 50,000 in attendance at the Soccer City stadium. As a result, the atmosphere should ensure the visitors keep their standards high and secure the three points.

Home hero to make his mark.

With the majority of the 50,000 fans hoping for a home win it makes sense to have one of their players amongst our South Africa vs Morocco tips. 

The visitors have a host of star names to choose from. In contrast Bafana Bafana had no playing representation in the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A or Bundesliga last season.

That is due to change next season. Lyle Foster signed for newly-promoted Burnley in January and therefore should appear in the English top tier.

The 22-year-old got on the scoresheet the last time these two sides met. Netting the opener in the reverse fixture in June 2022. Roared on by the home support we are taking him to repeat the trick here.

Goals set to flow with little to risk. 

Five of these two sides’ six AFCON Group K fixtures have seen at least three goals. Morocco’s 2-0 defeat of bottom side Liberia was the only game to have less. 

It is often the way that with nothing at stake we are treated to a more attractive open match. For two sides that have seen goals in their games this campaign, this added positive means the over 2.5 goals bet is a must for our predictions.
