Egypt vs Morocco (Pick, Prediction, Preview) Preview

Egypt – Morocco – last quarter-par at this year’s African Cup of Nations make two selections that two years ago did not even manage to not carve out a place in the finals, so this result Egypt and Morocco but now can be considered as a great success. However, since sedmorostrukih African champions, Egyptians, anyway always expected a lot on these competitions, while in Gabon and Morocco arrived with a very high quality selection, led the bench coach Renard, who is two years from the Ivory Coast and came to the title of champion of Africa. Suppose even that they are Egypt and Morocco last met before even 11 years, also the African Nations Cup, and then the final score read 0:0.

Egypt

And given that the selection of Egypt the only one on this edition of the African Cup of Nations has not yet received a goal, we would not be at all surprised that in this quarter-repeat and the result of 11 years ago. All the more so because the Egyptian attackers are not just something special mood in the competition so in the second round against Uganda only goal achieved only in 89 minutes, or more precisely did it reservists El-Said, while in the third round against Ghana to new victories 1: 0 goal came thanks to their biggest stars, Salah, from the free kick.

Otherwise, Egypt is before these two minimum triumph yet played a 0: 0 against Mali, but the seven points they still reached the first place in the group, which certainly fulfilled the main objective coach Cuper. Well, now they follow the more difficult matches so you should expect even more discipline to play Egypt, while the attack continues to rely on brzonogog Salah, who with the exception of that goal against Ghana is not exactly justify the reputation with which he arrived in Gabon. Suppose even that, because of injuries and remain sidelined goalkeeper El Shenavy and guard Abdel-Shafy but will this place and this time to fill the 44-year-old El Hadary and experienced team player Hull, Elmohamady.

Probable lineups Egypt: El Hadary – Elmohamady, Hegazy, Gabr, Fathi – Elneny, Hamed – Salah El-Said, Trezeguet – Mohsen

Morocco

As for Morocco, for them this competition in Gabon is not the best start, as in the first round defeated with 1: 0 by selection DRC, but then in the second match with 3: 1 win over Togo and also come in a position to them in the last round against the Ivory Coast and the point corresponding to the passage to the quarterfinals. However, the chosen coach Renard are against current African champions played very brave, they are paid at the beginning of the second half when the keeper shook reservists Alioui, so that it is now against Egypt and we expect from the first minute, especially since he hurt Bouhaddouz.

Otherwise, the hit Aliouia was the only one in the match, so that Morocco in the quarter-finals qualify for the effect of two wins and one defeat, which only tells us that it is definitely not without chances is not against the Egyptians, who in this competition already much more account of water on defense than on the attack. When it comes to the composition of Morocco for this quarterfinal view, it will probably be the same as in the match with Ivory Coast, with the team that we have already said that instead of the injured BOUHADDOUZ this time starter should be Alioui.

Probable lineups Morocco: Munir – Saiss, Benatia, da Costa – Dirar, Fajr, El Ahmadi, Boussoufa, Mendyl – Alioui, En-Nesyri

Egypt – Morocco TIP

As this quarter-view two selections that meet in this tournament much better party provide in defense than in attack, then it is quite clear that our forecast is going in this direction, which is that there should not be too many goals.


Prediction: Over 1,5 goals
