It's the second match of Group(A) when Namibia plays against Morocco.

Namibia is the weakest team in this group. IMHO, the other three teams will manage to win against them and the results between the other three will determine the final outcome of the group.

Here are my reasons for this pick:

First of all, Namibia were within a whisker of finishing third in Group 10 in the qualifiers but an injury time killer goal from Katupose completed a superb 3-2 victory at Ethiopia to send the Namibians through as group leaders. Having difficulties against the likes of Libya and DR Congo, they'll certainly have much trouble against Morocco.

Second, Bamfuchile, the Zambian coach of Namibia who lead them in the qualifiers has shockingly resigned a month ago which is a definite blow to the Namibians' Nations Cup ambitions. Now, Arie Schans has taken the charge, but unfortunately he neither has the time nor any experience in the Dark Continent.

Third, Morocco possesses a great young team that can compete on the title of this tournament. Additionally, they have a great coach. Henri Michel is currently in charge of Atlas Lions. He has vast experience with African soccer and the best days of morocco in World Cup football were in 1998 and Frenchman was the coach back then.

Finally, Morocco has done some good results in their preparations and have showed other what they are capable of. Michel's men gave in an impressive performance against France in a CAN 2008 warm-up game, earning applaud from their high-profile opposition and showing signs of a strong candidate for Africa's top award.

Verdict: This game has only possible result and that is Morocco to win. However, I'm not gonna risk money on more than the +1 ball.

Good Luck
