The African Cup of Nations will be held this time in Morocco, and the host nation has the honour of opening the tournament against Comoros. The previous edition was played two years ago, when hosts Ivory Coast won the title by defeating Nigeria 2–1 in the final. Home advantage carries significant weight on the African continent, and for that reason, Morocco enter the tournament as the leading title favourite.
Morocco made a sensational run to the semi-finals at the most recent World Cup in Qatar. The team is still coached by Walid Regragui and features several stars who carried major responsibility at the World Cup as well. PSG full-back Achraf Hakimi is arguably the best player in the world in his position and has recovered just in time from an ankle injury. Other key players include Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui, Marseille centre-back Nayef Aguerd, and Real Madrid attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz.
The strongest challengers are Mohamed Salah’s Egypt, as well as Senegal (champions in 2021) and Algeria (champions in 2019), who lifted the trophy before Ivory Coast. Egypt’s core consists largely of domestic-based players, but the attack, led by Salah and Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush, is world-class. Senegal, meanwhile, are spearheaded by Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr, and rising new talent Lamine Camara from Monaco. Algeria boast plenty of quality and experience, from Riyad Mahrez (Al-Ahli) to Aïssa Mandi (Lille). New top-level players are also emerging, such as Frankfurt’s Fares Chaibi and Leverkusen’s Ibrahim Maza.
Potential dark horses challenging the top favourites include Cameroon, led by Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba; Nigeria, represented by Galatasaray goal machine Victor Osimhen; and the reigning champions Ivory Coast, featuring among others Mbeumo’s club teammate Amad Diallo.
Morocco vs Comoros. In the opening match, any result other than a Moroccan victory would be a massive surprise. Comoros have previously appeared at the Africa Cup of Nations only once, in 2021, when they won one group-stage match. The squad includes several players based in Europe, but only a few compete at the very highest league level. In particular, a large proportion of the defensive players represent clubs in the lower tiers of French football.
The player market value is massive. Moroccan players are worth + 400 million euros, the Comoros players are less than 20 million, and you have not really heard from most of them as they play in Arab leagues or in smaller French clubs like Amiens or Troyes, or somewhere lower.
Now, big-margin wins are not typical in this tournament, but I'm going for it under these circumstances. Good luck!

这次非洲国家杯将在摩洛哥举行，东道主有幸与科摩罗展开比赛。上届世界杯是在两年前举行的，东道主科特迪瓦在决赛中以2比1击败尼日利亚赢得冠军。主场优势对非洲大陆来说意义重大，因此，摩洛哥是夺冠热门。
在最近的卡塔尔世界杯上，摩洛哥在半决赛中取得了惊人的成绩。这支球队仍然由瓦利德·雷格拉吉（Walid Regragui）执教，并拥有几位在世界杯上承担主要责任的球星。巴黎圣日耳曼的边后卫哈基米可以说是世界上在他的位置上最好的球员，他刚刚从脚踝受伤中恢复过来。其他关键球员包括曼联后卫马兹拉维、马赛中卫阿盖尔德和皇马攻击型中场布拉希姆Díaz。
最大的挑战者是穆罕默德·萨拉赫的埃及，以及塞内加尔（2021年冠军）和阿尔及利亚（2019年冠军），他们在科特迪瓦之前举起了奖杯。埃及的核心主要由国内球员组成，但由萨拉赫和曼城的马尔穆什领导的进攻是世界级的。与此同时，塞内加尔的前锋有埃弗顿的恩迪亚耶，水晶宫的伊斯迈拉·萨尔，以及来自摩纳哥的新秀拉明·卡马拉。阿尔及利亚拥有大量的实力和经验，从利雅得·马赫雷斯（Al-Ahli）到Aïssa曼迪（Lille）。新的顶级球员也在不断涌现，比如法兰克福的Fares Chaibi和勒沃库森的Ibrahim Maza。
挑战夺冠热门的潜在黑马包括喀麦隆，由曼联的布莱恩·姆博莫和布莱顿的卡洛斯·巴莱巴领衔；尼日利亚，代表为加拉塔萨雷进球机器维克多·奥西姆恩；以及卫冕冠军科特迪瓦队，其中包括姆博莫的俱乐部队友阿马德·迪亚洛。
摩洛哥vs科摩罗。在首场比赛中，除了摩洛哥的胜利，任何结果都将是一个巨大的惊喜。科摩罗此前只参加过一次非洲国家杯，那是在2021年，当时他们赢得了一场小组赛。这支球队包括几名来自欧洲的球员，但只有少数人参加过最高水平的联赛。尤其值得一提的是，防守球员中有很大一部分来自法国低级别足球俱乐部。
球员市场的价值是巨大的。摩洛哥球员的身价超过4亿欧元，科摩罗球员的身价不到2000万欧元，而且你很少听到他们中的大多数人的消息，因为他们在阿拉伯联赛或较小的法国俱乐部，如亚眠或特鲁瓦，或更低的地方踢球。
大比分的胜利在这项赛事中并不常见，但在这种情况下我要争取。好运！
