2023 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers: A Look at Morocco and South Africa's Past Results Ahead of Key Clash

• Morocco and South Africa will kick off proceedings in Group K of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in Casablanca tomorrow night
• The delay in the group's start by a week was because of Zimbabwe's expulsion from this phase, with Liberia making up the rest of the three-team group
• The Atlas Lions and Bafana Bafana have a 24-year-long history, with little to separate the sides when it comes to a head-to-head comparison

Matters will finally get underway in Group K of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers tomorrow night.

Morocco will host South Africa in a headline clash in Rabat, with Liberia watching on from home. This is because Zimbabwe was disqualified from this phase of the competition due to political interference in the country's football federation.

According to statisticians 11v11, there is not much to separate the sides since they first met at the 1998 Africa Cup of Nations in Burkina Faso. In six previous meetings, Bafana Bafana has won two matches to the Atlas Lions' one, with three draws.

In the quarterfinal of AFCON 1998, Bafana defeated Morocco 2-1 as reported by Kick Off. Then at the 2002 edition in the group stages, South Africa overwhelmed the north Africans 3-1 in Mali.

At the 2004 tournament in Tunisia, the sides had to settle for a 1-1 draw. In yet another Afcon tournament, the two nations drew 2-2 in South Africa's home tournament in early 2013. Later that year, the two sides met outside of an AFCON tournament, drawing 1-1 in an international friendly.

Morocco finally defeated South Africa for the very first time at the 2019 AFCON in 2019, winning 1-0 in a group stage encounter.
