Maghreb Fès have less rest than Raja Casablanca in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Botola Pro game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ittihad Tanger, so at least Maghreb are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

4-6-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Raja Casablanca when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eleven matches are 16-9 (scored/conceded).

Maghreb can neither be promoted or relegated from Botola Pro. Casablanca are staying put at 2nd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
