A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Ittihad Khemisset fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Tihad Casablanca's 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Tihad Casablanca have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-7-4 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
