Ghana haven't impressed me one iota in this tournament. Fair do's they're the hosts so the pressure is on but they've shown me nothing really. Their 2 strikers are the worst strike force of the fancied nations but at the back and in midfield especially they are very good. Morocco have scored goals from all over the shop in this competition so far and I've just a sneaky feeling Henri Michel will bring back hattrick hero from the 1st game Soufiane Alloudi at some point in this match.

The proposed walk out of the Gyan brothers from the Ghana squad can't have done too much for morale, neither is the Ghanaians on radio shows slagging their players off. Claude le Roy is right, the pressure is on Morocco but they've shown they can attack as well as any side in this tournament and with Ghana struggling for goals up front, Morocco may well be able to commit an extra man to go and get the result they require. With everything that's gone on I expect Ghana to be happy with a draw which sees them through so Morocco on the +0.5AH is my play here.
Massive move towards this in the last 15 mins, Ghana went from evens to 11/10 on Betfair. I got a feeling it's gonna get even bigger.

With what Yossef said in mind i find it hard finding something worth betting on today but I've placed 1/4 point on Morocco to score 3 goals against Ghana at 12/1 value is i have it priced at 9/1(10% chance).

Ghana have not impressed me at all either and with all the turbulence in the squad i think Morocco got a good chance of getting goals which is also what they'll be going for. If Guinea scores against Namibia it will put more pressure on them and they'll be attacking even more.

Edit : the 12/1 is with skybet
