AFCON 2025 hosts Morocco are through to the quarter-finals of the competition, where they will face another continental giant in Cameroon.
The Atlas Lions are still the favourites to lift the trophy on home soil, but this should be a stern examination of their credentials.
Cameroon are five-time winners of AFCON, claiming Africa’s biggest prize on three occasions since the turn of the millennium (2000, 2002 and 2017).
What a quarter-final clash we have in prospect, and here is our full online sports betting preview for Morocco vs Cameroon, with tips to help you craft your AFCON football bets.
Cameroon vs Morocco Preview
Morocco found things tough in the last 16, but eventually managed to get past a stubborn Tanzania outfit.
Brahim Diaz scored the only goal of the game to secure a vital 1-0 knockout win, which followed an impressive 3-0 victory over Zambia on Matchday 3 of the group stage.
Defensively, the Moroccans look pretty sound, with Mali’s Lassine Sinayoko the only player to score past goalkeeper Bono in four matches at the tournament, an impressive record indeed.
Cameroon are also unbeaten at this edition of AFCON, claiming group stage wins over Gabon (1-0) and Mozambique (1-2) either side of a credible 1-1 draw with Ivory Coast.
The Indomitable Lions faced off against South Africa in the last 16, and eventually emerged with a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane.
So both nations are in decent form ahead of kick-off in Rabat, though it is hard to look past Morocco with the home advantage.
Furthermore, the Atlas Lions – captained by Paris Saint-Germain superstar Achraf Hakimi – thrashed Cameroon 4-0 the last time the two sides met in 2021.

Cameroon vs Morocco Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Brahim Diaz @ 3.40
Real Madrid star Diaz is the top scorer at AFCON with four goals in as many games. With that in mind, we cannot work out why the price of this selection is so good! Diaz has netted in every single match at the tournament thus far, securing Morocco’s place in this round with his strike against Tanzania.
Anytime goalscorer double chance – Ayoub El Kaabi OR Brahim Diaz @ 1.70
But if you are not fully convinced by the Diaz-themed selection above, this one may pique your interest, as it removes a fair bit of the risk involved. El Kaabi is the joint-second top scorer at AFCON with three goals in four appearances, and he is averaging a strike every 82 minutes of action. And Diaz is performing even better with a record of 74 minutes per goal!
