Algeria Women have historically had the better of Morocco, however, current form suggests Morocco are in the pound seat. I am backing Morocco ladies to win.

Morocco are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Morocco have won four of their last five matches in all competitions.
Algeria have failed to win three of their last five matches.

Head to Head

Algeria Women lead 5-1 in their six clashes against Morocco Women. However, when they last met, Morocco Women came out 2-0 winners.

Morocco Form

Morocco were in rampant mood in their opening fixture as they eased to a 4-0 victory over Kenya. Ibtissam Jraidi netted a brace while Maryame Atiq and Sekina Ouzraoui were also on target.

It was a solid start to the campaign for Morocco, who are looking to go one better this time around after reaching the final in 2024. Jorge Vilda’s team are currently top of the table on goal difference and will be keen to maintain their momentum.

Morocco's win in the opening fixture highlights their overall form coming into the tournament. They are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions, winning four of the last five fixtures in this run.

Algeria Form

Algeria also made a winning start to their WAFCON campaign, picking up a 2-0 victory over Senegal. Marine Dafeur struck the opening goal just before the break while Melissa Bethi netted the second two minutes from time.

Manager Farid Benstiti will be pleased to have begun with a win and will be looking to maintain their start. A win for Algeria on Thursday will see them progress to the knockout stage.

Another reason for the manager to be pleased is that Algeria appear to be finding their form at the right time, having looked a bit off colour in the build-up to the tournament. The Fennecs failed to win three of their four matches heading to the WAFCON.

Morocco vs Algeria News and Predicted Lineups

Morocco (4-3-3): Khadija Er-Rmichi; Hanane Ait El Haj, Maryame Atiq, Nouhalia Benzina, Zineb Redouani; Yasmine Mrabet, Elodie Nakkach, Ghizlane Chebbak; Sekina Ouzraoui, Ibtissam Jraidi, Sanaa Mssoudy.

Captain Chebbak sat out the opening fixture for Morocco and is expected to get a run-out on Thursday. Mssoudy is set to feature in attack while Atiq and Benzina should continue at the back.

Algeria (4-2-3-1): Chloe N'gazi; Morgane Belkhiter, Lana Smits, Roselene Khezami, Ines Belloumou; Amira Ould Braham, Marine Dafeur; Melissa Bethi, Lina Boussaha, Lynda Bendris, Ikram Adjabi.

Algeria are likely to stick with the team that started the opening fixture, with Smits and Khezami continuing their partnership in central defence. Dafeur should feature in midfield while Adjabi is set to lead the line once again.

Verdict

Morocco v Algeria Women

Algeria are only just getting their form back and could still be vulnerable against the top sides.

Meanwhile, Morocco have looked almost unstoppable lately and should claim the upper hand over their North African counterparts.
