Morocco — Bahrain : Match Preview and Prediction for October 09,2025

Morocco’s Rising Stature

Following their impressive performance at the World Cup, the Moroccan national team has garnered significant attention and respect. This success propelled them to comfortably qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, where they continued to break records. In recent matches, the squad has showcased remarkably strong form.

The Atlas Lions’ Formidable Squad

The “Atlas Lions” currently boast an ideal squad composition. Their roster features a blend of seasoned veterans like Ziyech alongside incredibly promising and dangerous young talents capable of single-handedly winning games. Their World Cup qualification campaign appears almost effortless, having secured seven victories in as many matches, effectively guaranteeing their spot at the tournament. The team averages three goals per game. With the end of the qualifiers approaching and a match against Congo on the horizon, it’s anticipated that all key players will be present today.

Bahrain’s Recent Struggles

It seems many have overlooked Bahrain’s capability to play decent football. At best, they manage difficult advancements to the Asian Cup playoffs, but little beyond that. Consequently, the team missed out on the World Cup, and an internal restructuring is now expected within the squad.

A Disappointing Qualification Campaign

Bahrain, in fact, had a disastrous qualifying campaign. Despite being in a group with China and Indonesia, they finished last with only one victory in ten matches. Even more concerning is their average of just 0.5 goals per game—a starkly evident crisis. Following this, they played four friendly matches, yet even suffered a defeat to the UAE, a team that was not at full strength. Now, the focus is simply on playing out friendly fixtures without pressure.
