Morocco certainly have the squad to win the 2023 African Cup of Nations and that is reflected in the outright football betting odds. The Atlas Lions head the market and there are few other competing nations that can boast players with the calibre of Achraf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, Sofyan Amrabat and Hakim Ziyech. There are all top level players who can help their nation go deep.
As you might expect, the Atlas Lions are warm favourites to record a victory in this opener and pave the way for further success. It’s a relatively generous group for the Moroccans who will also face DR Congo and Zambia in order to progress to the knockout stage of proceedings, with three victories expected by the fans.
When it comes to the match odds for this clash, Morocco are warm favourites to get the better of Tanzania and it’s hardly a surprise when you consider the two teams and their respective players. The Laurent Pokou Stadium in San-Pédro plays host to this clash on Wednesday 17 January and it could be a one-sided affair.
While the Moroccans attracted rave reviews for their performances at the 2022 World Cup, the Taifa Stars are an altogether different prospect. They did manage to finish second behind Algeria in their qualifying group although only two victories were achieved in a qualifying section that also included Uganda and Niger.
