Morocco remain favourites to be crowned Africa Cup of Nations winners on home soil, but first they must overcome 2023 runners-up Nigeria in the semi-finals. Walid Regragui’s side have been clinically efficient in progressing through to the last four, extending their remarkable unbeaten run to 25 matches while conceding only one goal - a penalty.
At the other end of the pitch, they have the red-hot Brahim Diaz, who has scored in all five matches. The Atlas Lions are 6/4 with BOYLE Sports to win AFCON for the first time since 1976, but the path becomes much more difficult now.
Nigeria are enjoying their best finals after reeling off five successive wins, and their free-scoring attack will pose a real threat to Morocco’s miserly defence in Rabat . We think Morocco will come out on top but expect it to be close, and our initial Morocco vs Nigeria prediction is for them to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 @ 15/8.

Form Guides
Morocco Form Guide
Morocco saw their record-breaking 19-match winning streak come to an end with their 1-1 group-stage draw with Mali , but otherwise it has largely been going to plan for the host nation.
However, they have yet to face a team in the world’s top 50 - until now. All the semi-finalists are in the top 38 of the FIFA rankings and make up four of Africa’s leading five nations, the other being Algeria . Morocco will look to Brahim to lead their attack again. The Real Madrid forward was the top scorer in AFCON qualifying and now heads the charts in the finals.
Looking at the Morocco vs Nigeria odds, he is 28/1 to score the only goal of the game or 5/2 to net at any time.
Nigeria Form Guide
Nigeria are 3/1 to claim their fourth AFCON title this month after storming into the last four with the best record in the competition. T he Super Eagles were one of only two teams to win all three group games, before brushing aside Mozambique 4-0 in the last 16 and ending Algeria’s 100 per cent record in the quarter-finals.
Nigeria had never won five successive AFCON matches before, while their tournament-leading tally of 14 goals is already the most they have scored at the finals. Their record of netting at least twice in each of their opening five matches is also a first for the nation, so Morocco’s much-vaunted defence, which includes Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui, should be on red alert.
Victor Osimhen is 9/4 to add to his four-goal haul, while Ademola Lookman, who has struck three times, is 9/2 to get on the scoresheet. Nigeria are also averaging almost three bookings per game, so Chidozie Awaziem (13/10), Frank Onyeka (15/8) or Calvin Bassey (10/3) could offer value on that front, which completes our Morocco vs Nigeria betting tips.
