Niger's record over a similar period is much less settled, with almost as many losses as wins and draws put together, and goals shared roughly evenly at both ends of the pitch.

That gap in current form lines up with Morocco going into this one as the clear favourites.

Comparative Team Statistics: Morocco vs Niger

Head-to-head: Morocco have had the upper hand

All three recorded meetings between these two have gone Morocco's way, including a emphatic 5-0 win in this very qualifying campaign a little over a year ago.

The other competitive meeting was tighter, a 2-1 win for Morocco away in Niger, which shows the margin hasn't always been wide.

History points to a Morocco win, but the size of it has varied before.

Qualifying table: Morocco perfect so far

In this qualifying group, Morocco have won both of their games so far without conceding a goal, which has them sitting top of the section shown.

Niger's record is more mixed, one win and one loss, leaving them third, though this only shows the two teams directly rather than the full group picture.

Attacking contributors: a small snapshot

The player data here only covers single matches each, so it's a snapshot rather than a season-long picture. Rahimi, Mazraoui, El Khannouss and Aguerd have all had a hand in a goal for Morocco recently, suggesting the scoring threat isn't limited to one man.

Morocco:

Best scorers:

S. Rahimi - 1

N. Mazraoui - 1

Best assist providers:

B. El Khannouss - 1

N. Aguerd - 1

Niger:

Best assist providers:

O. Badamassi - 1

For Niger, Badamassi registered an assist in the same window, one of the few individual contributions on record.

What kind of game to expect

Morocco go into this as clear favourites, backed by a perfect start to this qualifying group and a recent heavy win over this same opponent.

The bigger uncertainty isn't really about who wins but by how much, which is why the handicap and goals markets look more interesting here than the straight result.
