Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade Boubker Ammar (10000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Botola 2, with both AS Salé and Kawkab Marrakech experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 13th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Kawkab Marrakech have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-10 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.

Salé are battling for top spots and have everything to play for.
