With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Ittihad Khemisset fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kawkab Marrakech.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

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 2-1-10 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

There's been little loot from Kawkab Marrakech's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Botola 2. Kawkab Marrakech only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 6 draws.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Botola 2 match played at their home ground Stade de Marrakech. Marrakech suffered a 1-2 loss to Racing de Casablanca (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against KAC Kénitra wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The attacking power of Marrakech when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As opposed to that, Marrakech have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
