Morocco will welcome Ghana to the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium for an international friendly fixture on Tuesday.

The home side have not been in action since picking up a 1-0 victory over Burundi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in March. Munir El Haddadi scored the game-winning goal in the 45th minute.

Ghana were 3-1 victors over Sao Tome and Principe in the final Group C fixture in the AFCON qualifiers. Nicholas Opoku, Jordan Ayew and Baba Rahman all got on the scoresheet for the Black Stars.

The two sides will play two friendly fixtures in this international window before resuming their FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September. Ghana will trade tackles with Ivory Coast on Saturday, while Morocco will be in action against Burkina Faso on the same day.

Morocco vs Ghana Prediction

Morocco have been the better side and even though Ghana have several proven performers, home advantage could factor in favor of the North Africans.

The two sides have enough quality in attack and are likely to play on the front foot which could translate into plenty of goalscoring opportunities. We are predicting a victory for Morocco, with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Morocco 2-1 Ghana
