<p>Nigeria stands in the way of their hopes of reaching the final, as they look to reach their second successive AFCON Final. The Super Eagles were runners-up in 2023, losing to hosts Ivory Coast 2-1 in the final.</p> <p>Let's preview this game in a little more detail, as we provide you with our winning AFCON Nigeria vs Morocco betting predictions ahead of their meeting on Thursday, January 15, at 07:00 AEDT.</p> <h2>Nigeria vs Morocco Betting Preview</h2> <p>Nigeria are just one game away from reaching the final for the second time in a row after defeating Algeria 2-0 in their quarter-final matchup. <strong>Victor Osimhen</strong> and <strong>Akor Adams </strong>both added to the goals they scored in the previous stage during their 4-0 victory in the Round of 16 against Mozambique.</p> <p>The Super Eagles have been prolific, having managed to find the back of the net 14 times so far. Osimhen has four goals in five games so far, putting him second in the list (along with Mohamed Salah). <strong>Ademola Lookman</strong> has three goals, while Adams and<strong> Raphael Onyedika</strong> have two each.<strong> Semi Ajayi</strong> and <strong>Wilfred Ndidi</strong> both have one.</p> <p>Keeping the ball out of their net hasn't been an issue, either. Nigeria have conceded just four; all of which came in the group stage. However, they are coming up against a team in Morocco that haven't found it hard to score goals themselves.</p> <p>Morocco have managed to put the ball in the net nine times. <strong>Brahim Díaz</strong> has five goals in five games, having added to his tally in the 2-0 victory over Cameroon in the quarter-final. <strong>Ayoub El Kaabi</strong> has three goals, while<strong> Ismael Saibari's</strong> goal against Cameroon gave them their ninth of the tournament. In terms of goals conceded, they've shipped just one.</p> <p>Will Nigeria break them down?

The last time they met was in the 2017 AFCON Final, when Morocco won 4-0.</p> <p>We predict<strong> Morocco will win</strong> again, but we don't think it will be as one-sided as the last time these two collided. We think<strong> 'Morocco 2-1'</strong> offers plenty of value, especially as both teams have found it relatively easy to score goals throughout the tournament.</p> <p>We like the value on offer for<strong> Diaz as an anytime goalscorer,</strong> having netted five in five. It's the same for <strong>Osimhen,</strong> as he has four in his last five matches.
