Morocco vs Bahrain: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 9, 2025

This Thursday in Rabat, Morocco will play against Bahrain in an international friendly. Betting on goals could be a wise choice given the promising odds.

Match Preview

Morocco, known as the “Atlas Lions,” is currently one of Africa’s top teams. They performed exceptionally well in World Cup qualifying, securing seven wins in seven matches, putting them 11 points ahead of the second-placed team.

In their last match, Morocco beat Zambia 2-0, marking their fourth straight qualifier without conceding a goal. They are currently on a seven-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, with six wins and one draw.

Bahrain’s situation is different. They finished last in their qualifying group and are unlikely to make it to the World Cup in the USA. After their elimination, they have played friendlies, winning against Primorye 2-1 and drawing 2-2 with Qatar. However, they lost their latest match against the UAE 0-1.
