Ivory Coast have recently suffered a bit of a knock to their confidence, after losing narrowly to Gabon in a home fixture, but the arrival of poor travellers Morocco should be a catalyst for a result that fightbacks against the form book.

Our Ivory Coast vs Morocco predictions back a home win despite their recent slip-up, but the high-stakes nature of this clash means that there is still value within taking a realistic line within our weekend’s CAF World Cup Qualifying predictions.

Morocco currently sit top of Group C with eight points, but with Gabon sat in third place with five to their name, whoever slips up in this clash will see their qualification chances cut down slightly.

Ivory Coast vs Morocco Prediction and Betting Advice

Ivory Coast have found the back of the net in every single one of their African World Cup qualifying home games this century. They will be certain to pose their opposition plenty of offensive questions, as they possess a lot of quality both in attack and in midfield. On paper, they should be confident of being a real threat.

10Bet offer the best value on both teams scoring in this game, however, with Morocco’s recent 3-1 friendly away win against South Korea showing that they do have some quality offensively. Khalid Boutaib has four goals to his name already in Group C, and the Yeni Malatyaspor midfielder will be keen to continue with his purple patch for a little longer.

Morocco have only failed to score in one of their last three away internationals, with Mali managing to battle to a 0-0 scoreline in their last group fixture. Given that things are extremely tight, the visitors can’t afford to drop all three points, but their defensive record doesn’t fill anyone with a lot of confidence.

Our Ivory Coast vs Morocco bets back the hosts to triumph, despite their hit-and-miss recent home form. Across all competitions and friendlies, Les Elephants have recorded just one victory in their last six attempts, but this weekend is a chance to bounce back against a national team that don’t travel well.

Betfred have the best value on the hosts taking all three points in Group C, which will be a huge step towards them securing top spot and therefore a place in the next phase of qualification. Morocco are unbeaten in their last three away fixtures, but they have not recorded a win in a competitive away game since March of last year.

Our Ivory Coast vs Morocco betting tips suggest that the hosts should be confident of taking three points, but it will come at a coast. Morocco have shown that they can be an offensive threat of late, and Ivory Coast will there have to battle their way to first place.
