Morocco vs Ghana Odds: Atlas Lions to maul the Black Stars

Monday afternoon sees a Group C Clash between two teams heavily fancied for the AFCON title. Morocco (10/1) take on Ghana (18/1) in a game that could have huge consequences for the later rounds. We've asked OddsTerrier to pick out two bets for your perusal.

Morocco come into this game as a sleeping giant. They haven't won the AFCON since 1976 but as the 28th ranked side in the world, they will be hoping to reach the later stages here. They boast a fair bit of UK talent including Ilias Chair, Imran Louza and Adam Masina and Romain Saiss, all of whom should feature here.

Ghana(11/4) will be the underdogs in this one but again have lots of UK based stars. Daniel Amartey (Leicester City), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace), Thomas Partey (Arsenal), Baba Rahman and Andy Yiadom (both Reading), Joe Wollacott (Swindon) all make the squad and most will be in action here today.

First up we've gone for the Moroccans in the Match Result market. They are in superb form and haven't lost in their last 27 matches in all competitions. They are also superb at the back - keeping clean sheets in 14 of their last 16 games. They are a best priced 19/13 to win here with SBK. Ghana recently lost 3-0 to Algeria in a midweek friendly and are in dubious nick, having won just 5 of their last 12 games. 

Next up we've moved to the Anytime Goalscorer market and have picked out Sevilla's star Youssef En-Nesyri to score in the 90 minutes. The 24 year old has scored three goals already this year in eight La Liga appearances and is one of the Moroccans biggest threats. He has netted 11 times already for the Atlas Lions. I like the value in this one -  the 10/3 on offer at Paddies is significantly higher than the 11/5 at bet365 and I like the chance of this one landing here.
