Nigeria vs Morocco Prediction and Betting Tips 14 January 2026

Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah will host Wednesday’s 2025 AFCON showdown between Nigeria and Morocco. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw. The Super Eagles aim to keep their 100% record at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, but they will have a big fish to fry against the tournament hosts. Nigeria have been scoring 2.80 goals per game at the showpiece tournament, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is banned for the match, but Eric Chele has strength in depth.

The Atlas Lions, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Nigeria by beating Cameroon 2-0 in the quarter-finals. It seems as if Morocco have been making progress game by game, but they will have a mountain to climb against the high-flying Super Eagles. Walid Regragui’s men have been conceding only 0.30 goals per game overall, meaning that they will rely on their rock-solid defence against Nigeria. No fresh injury worries for the Moroccans.

As previously mentioned, a close encounter is on the cards. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Draw, alongside Half-Time and Under 2.5 goals.

This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Wednesday 14 January 2026 at 20:00.
