<p>The 2025 AFCON Final has been set. Senegal will take on hosts Morocco for the biggest prize in African soccer.</p> <p>Senegal secured their place in the final after overcoming a tough challenge from Egypt. Sadio Mane scored the only goal of the game in the 78th minute to send his former Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah and Egypt crashing out of the final four.</p> <p>Morocco needed extra time and penalties to secure passage to the AFCON Final. They and Nigeria would play to a goalless draw over 120 minutes; Morocco would then seal the victory in front of an expectant home crowd by winning 4-2 in the penalty shootout.</p> <p>Now, will they go one step further and lift the trophy on Monday, January 19, at 06:00 AEDT? Read our Senegal vs Morocco betting predictions to find out what we think will happen…</p> <h2>Senegal vs Morocco Betting Preview</h2> <p>Senegal have been nothing but exceptional throughout this year's competition. They've conceded just two goals all tournament, having last conceded in the Round of 16 (against Sudan).</p> <p>In terms of attack, they've also been among the best, scoring 12 times. Goals have been shared around, with Mane joining Pape Gueye, Nicolas Jackson, and Cherif Ndiaye on two. Iliman Ndiaye and Ibrahim Mbaye have one.</p> <p>However, they haven't necessarily outdone Morocco to be at this stage of the 2025 AFCON competition. The hosts have scored nine goals to reach the final; Brahim Díaz has five goals, Ayoub El Kaabi has three, while Ismael Saibari has one.</p> <p>On top of their prolificacy in front of goal, they've had the meanest defence of the entire tournament. They've conceded just once, which came in their second game of the event against Mali (1-1 draw).</p> <p>Morocco have, quite simply, been exceptional at keeping teams at bay, as shown in the semi-final. Nigeria had just two shots in the entire game.</p> <h2>Senegal vs Morocco Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Although the advantage of home support would be enough to motivate and encourage Morocco to win as <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/international-soccer/caf-african-cup-of-nations/senegal-v-morocco-10047088">the Senegal vs Morocco betting odds</a> reflect, they also have the added bonus of a strong head-to-head record over Senegal.</p> <p>Throughout history, the following record has been achieved:</p> <ul> <li>Senegal wins: 7</li> <li>Draw: 6</li> <li>Morocco wins: 18</li> </ul> <p>It's worth noting that the last time these two teams met was in 2025, in the 2024 African Nations Championship semi-final. Morocco would win that game 5-3 on penalties. Is that a preview of what's to come?</p> <p>Well, as we make our Senegal vs Morocco betting predictions, we don't think it will go to a penalty shootout once again. While both teams have proven very difficult to break down, we do think there will be a killer goal in this match – and we think that with home advantage Morocco will win.</p> <p>Finals are also notoriously tight affairs, so there could be value in backing 'Morocco to win 2-1' as the result.
