Morocco Women will clash with Mali Women at the Olympic Stadium in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Friday. Both teams are in search of a ticket to the semi-finals.

Morocco Women vs Mali Women Preview

Morocco have been enjoying tremendous support from fans as they are the host team. We expect locals to pump up the volume in the knockout stage. However, that alone may not be enough as Morocco were held to a 2-2 draw by Zambia in their opening game, despite the home support. Moroccans are expecting a lot from their team.

The Atlas Lionesses won two matches – against DR Congo 4-2 and Senegal 1-0 – and drew against Zambia 2-2 to top Group A on seven points. Morocco are making their third appearance in the competition, with their best record being a runner-up spot in 2022. They prevailed in their last meeting against Mali 1-0.

Mali had a dream start in the competition, beating Tanzania 1-0 in their opening game, but failed to build on their momentum. They drew against Ghana 1-1 in their second match and lost heavily against South Africa 4-0 in their final group match. However, Mali were able to scale through as one of the best third-placed teams.

Les Aiglonnes are appearing for the eighth time in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Their best performance remains a fourth-place finish in the 2018 edition. This is also their second time to progress beyond the group stage. Mali will have to brace themselves for a hostile atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.
