Venue: Stade Mimoun Al Arsi (12000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Botola 2, Chabab Rif Hoceima holding 16th place and Chabab Ben Guerir lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Hoceima nor Chabab Ben Guerir as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Relegation threatens Chabab Rif Hoceima who should definitely be looking for some points here. Chabab are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
