An important duel in the bottom section of the Botola 2, with both KAC Kénitra and Sidi Kacem experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 15th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

1 - 6 - 9 with 13-25. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Sidi Kacem when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Sidi Kacem play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
