In Group B of the CAN 2025 qualifiers where Morocco is already qualified, Gabon is under pressure, being the second best nation close to the last ticket.
Morocco wants to finish in style
Morocco, the organizing country, is automatically qualified before the start of the qualifiers. Despite this status, the Atlas Lions were a hit during the first 4 days.
The Moroccans lead the group with 12 points out of 12 possible and will look to finish on a high note. Morocco’s last two matches are against Gabon and Lesotho, on November 14 and 18, 2025, respectively.
With the return of Real Madrid’s Brahim Díaz, who is more determined than everMorocco has a better chance of finishing these CAN qualifiers flawlessly.
Gabon under pressure!
In second position in Group B, Gabon has 7 points. With their position, the Panthers must win one of their last two games to be safe from elimination. His first match will not necessarily be preferable to celebrate.
With his captain Pierre-Émeric AubameyangGabon challenges Morocco on November 15, before flying three days later to the Central African Republic for the final day. Against the same opponents, the Central African country lost 4-1 and won 2-0 respectively.
Central African Republic: the Fauves dream of a final against Gabon
With nine goals conceded in his last two matches, including a manitaCentral Africa is third in the group with 3 points. It is Gabon’s main concern.
Aware of their chance of qualification, the Fauves du Bas-Oubangui will seek to eliminate Lesotho in the first match (November 14, 2024). However, they will have to revisit the problem of inefficiency in front of goal before hoping for anything.
With a little luck, in the event of Gabon’s defeat against Morocco, the Central African Republic can still dream of a qualifying final against Gabon at home on November 18, 2024 at Orlando Stadium in South Africa.
Lesotho to play spoilsport
In this Group B, Lesotho only managed to gain a single point against Gabon last month away. They dreamed of creating an exploit later, but their chances have been reduced since they lost the return match 0-2 against the Gabonese Panthers.
Barring a miracle, Lesotho can already give up on CAN 2025. However, they can play spoilsport in the first match against Central Africa.
