Morocco vs Congo Prediction & Betting Tips (14 October)

On the occasion of the last day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Africa zone, spotlight on a confrontation between Morocco and the Republic of Congo.Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, Morocco has had an exemplary run in these qualifiers. Undefeated since the start of the campaign, Walid Regragui's men confirmed their superiority by winning 2-0 in Zambia on the last day, thanks to goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Hamza Igamane. Before that, the Moroccans had outclassed Niger 5-0 and dominated Tanzania 3-0, displaying impressive consistency and an almost impervious defense.Opposite, the Republic of Congo is going through much more complicated qualifiers.

The Red Devils have still not signed a victory in this group and are suffering several setbacks. They also have 6 defeats on the clock but were not able to play all their matches for reasons of political interference. In search of their first victory, they suffered a new disappointment against Niger a few days ago 3-1 . Already eliminated from the race for qualification, Congo will play this match with the sole intention of not taking a suitcase.

Both teams have named strong lineups for the October 14 showdown, with no major injuries reported. Morocco is expected to stick with their trusted 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring Bono in goal and a backline anchored by Romain Saïss and Nayef Aguerd. Midfield dynamism will come from Azzedine Ounahi and Oussama El Azzouzi, while Brahim Díaz and Eliesse Ben Seghir offer creativity in attack. Congo’s predicted 4-3-3 setup includes Jehou Foutou in goal and a defensive trio of Coupe Mavoungou, Boris Moussiti-Oko, and Destin Makita. Their hopes rest on Mbenza’s ability to lead swift counters and capitalize on set pieces. With Morocco holding a psychological edge and superior form, the tactical battle will likely be one-sided unless Congo can disrupt the rhythm early.

While Morocco has already qualified, they remain hungry to extend their winning streak and close out the campaign in style. Congo, though out of contention, will aim to avoid another heavy defeat and perhaps snatch a goal through a moment of brilliance. Given the disparity in form and squad depth, Morocco is expected to dominate possession and create more chances. However, Congo’s defensive posture and occasional bursts forward could yield a surprise. Our prediction leans toward a competitive but ultimately controlled affair, with Morocco prevailing 2-1. The Atlas Lions will likely score early, Congo may respond with a set-piece goal, but Morocco’s quality should seal the win before full time.
