This match features two teams living in the basement of the Botola 2, Chabab Rif Hoceima holding 14th place and AS Salé lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Botola 2 match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Tihad Casablanca, was also a home game here at Stade Mimoun Al Arsi. The away team is better rested.
