Morocco vs Norway: Team News and Expert Analysis
Morocco were the sensation of the last World Cup, becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals. Since then, they have achieved further regional successes – winning, while also performing well in qualification, the African Nations Championship and the Arab Cup. However, their home AFCON campaign ended with a defeat to Senegal in a dramatic final. The match became even more controversial after officials stripped Senegal of their victory, later awarding a technical loss. Morocco have also done well in friendlies, recently thrashing Burundi 4-0 and scoring even more against Madagascar.
After decades in the doldrums, Norway have finally made a breakthrough. They topped their qualification group, winning all their matches, including two victories over Italy. In March, however, they lost to the Netherlands and had to settle for a draw with Switzerland, though these were just friendlies. Most recently, they beat neighboring Sweden 3-1 in convincing fashion.
The African powerhouse averages 1.9 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.4. The Scandinavians, in turn, average 3.1 goals scored and only 0.7 conceded.
