Congo vs Morocco prediction, preview, team news and more | 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Congo and Morocco go head-to-head at the Stade Adrar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. The Atlas Lions head into the game unbeaten in their previous five games against Isaac Ngata’s men and will look to extend this dominant run.
Congo failed to kick off the new year on a winning note as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Gabon in a friendly at the Stade des Marais on March 25.
Ngata’s side have now failed to win their last four games in all competitions, losing twice and claiming two draws since a 1-0 victory over South Sudan in March 2023.
Congo now turn their attention to the World Cup qualifiers, where they suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Zambia in their Group E curtain-raiser on November 17.
Meanwhile, Morocco made it two wins from two in the qualifiers as they secured a 2-1 victory over Zambia at the Stade Adrar last Friday.
Before that, the Atlas Lions kicked off their qualifying journey with a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man Tanzania on November 21.
With Friday’s result, Morocco have now gone unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, claiming eight wins and three draws since September 2023.
