After ensuring their qualification for the rest of the competition, the Atlas Lions intend to confirm their good form, Tuesday January 18 at 8 p.m., against Gabon. Deprived of Denis Bouanga, positive for Covid-19, the Gabonese have four points after a draw against Ghana and a victory against the Comoros. A draw would allow them to get their ticket to the round of 16.
Gabon is deprived of Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and OGC Nice player Mario Lemina, both officially sent back to their club because of heart damage, after contamination with Covid-19. He can still count on his strikers Aaron Boupendza and Jim Allevinah, scorers in the first two games. Morocco, confident, did not concede a single goal in their first two games.
