Match Preview

Morocco head into this friendly in outstanding shape after an impressive World Cup qualifying run. The Atlas Lions cruised through their group with a perfect record, netting 22 goals and conceding just twice. They further strengthened their credentials by lifting the Africa Cup of Nations trophy, cementing their reputation as one of Africa’s elite national teams.

Their World Cup preparations have continued steadily through friendlies. Morocco played out a 1-1 draw with Ecuador before securing wins over Paraguay and Burundi. Even more remarkably, the team remains unbeaten since 2025 and currently boasts an impressive 27-match undefeated streak.

One of Morocco’s biggest assets remains their defensive discipline. Five of their previous seven matches ended with fewer than three goals, reflecting a side built on structure, balance, and control. While difficult to break down, the Atlas Lions also possess enough attacking quality to dictate matches against most opposition.

With a World Cup group containing Scotland, Haiti, and Brazil on the horizon, every warm-up fixture is a valuable chance for Morocco to sharpen tactical chemistry and assess squad depth before the tournament begins.

Madagascar, meanwhile, travel to Rabat in decent form of their own. The visitors are unbeaten in three consecutive friendlies, collecting two victories along with a draw against Equatorial Guinea.

Their World Cup qualification campaign showed promise, as they finished second behind Ghana in the group standings. However, that ultimately proved insufficient to advance further. Despite missing out, Madagascar have remained competitive, suffering only one defeat in their last seven matches in all competitions.

Still, this challenge represents a major step up in class. Morocco possess more depth, stronger individual quality, and considerably greater experience at the highest level of international football.

The sides have crossed paths only once before, with Morocco coming out on top in their previous meeting during the African Nations Championship.
