In the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium, the Morocco — Mali match will take place. As the tournament host, Morocco started its campaign in Group A confidently and defeated the Comoros Islands 2-0, despite missing a penalty kick. Mali, in the opening round, painfully let a victory slip against Zambia in stoppage time and also failed to convert a spot kick, finishing with a 1-1 draw. The history of meetings between the teams at the tournament includes a memorable semifinal in 2004, when Morocco crushed its opponent 4-0.

Morocco, under the guidance of Walid Regragui, looks like the main favorite not only in the group but in the entire competition. It delivered a phenomenal qualifying campaign and was the only national team to win all of its matches. Morocco showed outstanding attacking efficiency, scoring twenty-six goals, while its leader, Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Díaz, became the top scorer of the qualifiers with seven goals. With the support of the home crowd, it is aiming to secure an early place in the knockout stage, relying on its star-studded squad and a well-polished tactical model.
