Morocco is in phenomenal form: they're unbeaten for 20 matches, with 18 wins and only two draws (though it's worth noting that their defeat in the African Cup final was ruled a forfeit for Senegal). In their last game, the Atlas Lions crushed Burundi 5-0, and their average scoring rate is an impressive 2.8 goals per match. Considering the hosts are preparing for the World Cup and testing their attacking lineup before their match against Brazil, the Moroccans are set for a big score.
Madagascar, ranked 104th in the FIFA rankings, is a clear underdog. The visitors have conceded an average of two goals per game in recent matches, and their defense looks extremely vulnerable: just remember their 4-1 defeat to Mali. At the same time, Madagascar is capable of scoring themselves – their 5-2 rout of Kyrgyzstan demonstrates that, with the right attitude, they can upset even the favorites. In a friendly match with a highly motivated host and little pressure on the visitors, goals are expected from both sides.
Morocco has scored at least twice in four of its last five matches, while Madagascar has also scored in three of its last four. Considering the teams' previous meeting in 2025, when spectators saw five goals (3-2 in Morocco's favor), as well as the enormous difference in skill between the teams, the hosts are quite capable of breaking this total on their own.
