Morocco – Togo PREDICTION & PREVIEW (20.01.2017)

Morocco win

Stake 1.25, cortito because being very superior Morocco often sin in excess of maternal indulgence with its rivals.

Second match for Morocco and Togo in group C of this cup of Africa. The first come from losing against the Congo in a match that dominated from start to finish in which they did not take advantage of their chances of goal. For their part, Togo comes from drawing a meritorious draw before the favorite of the group, Côte d’Ivoire, in a very thick match.

On paper Morocco is far superior to Togo in all lines. In the goal, Munir, despite the error of the other day, is a keeper of guarantees. In the defense, Benatía commands a line that lacks some speed but that shows forceful and effective. The midfield, reduced by the injuries, still offers guarantees of superiority with people like Boussofa who, although often, their veteran and quality are often important factor for the organization, the ball out and the overflow. Upstairs is something else. The Arabi alone and without receiving balls with certain clarity is not very dangerous. People like Boufal, Belhanda or Amrabat among others would have given the team many more alternatives to the team in attack but the injuries left them out of this championship.

Togo already did much to draw a draw against a parsimonious Ivory Coast. Very relaxed elephants who even suffered at times before the languishing selection of Emmanuel Adebayor. They gave everything in the first game and it was seen that they were very happy with the final draw.

The only reference to take into account matches between the two teams is the friendly disputed 2 months ago that ended with a Moroccan victory by two goals 1.

I expect a match completely dominated by the Maghreb team with a well-armed Togo defensively awaiting their opportunity. Of that dominion they have to come the goals because neither are so null in attack the Moroccans. There are already several official matches without seeing the door and if they do not against Togo they will not do it to anyone. The urgency of winning and knowing that getting the victory and a tie or defeat of Ivory Coast in the other match will leave the classification in their hands will be more than enough incentives to look hard for the triumph.
