Botola Pro: What this game might lack in glamour it should make up in energy and dedication. Get set for Moghreb Tétouan - FUS Rabat!

Insights:
  • Moghreb Tétouan have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won at home.

The hosts Moghreb Tétouan saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Botola Pro. That game was an away game at CR Khemis Zemamra, so at least Moghreb are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Relegation threatens Moghreb who should definitely be looking for some points here. FUS Rabat are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Moghreb Tétouan form and stats

When playing at home in the Botola Pro, Moghreb Tétouan have managed 3 wins, 6 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games.

No payout for Moghreb in their previous match, an away game at CR Khemis Zemamra that ended in defeat 0-3.

Heartbreak before that as Moghreb lost 2-4 at Wydad Casablanca's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Moghreb have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn seven and lost two.

Moghreb are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 12 games. 14 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

FUS Rabat form and stats

As the visiting team in Botola Pro matches, FUS Rabat have produced an overall stat of 3-5-4 so far.

FUS Rabat failed to get anything from their last game, a Botola Pro home match vs Maghreb Fes (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-1.

Before that, Rabat travelled to Hassania Agadir and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rabat playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were four FUS Rabat wins, eight draws and six defeats.
