Tihad Casablanca form and stats

There's been little loot from Tihad Casablanca's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Botola 2. Tihad Casablanca only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Casablanca's previous game versus AS Salé (placed 14th), a Botola 2 3-1 win played at home.

A 0-2 defeat away at UTS Rabat before that.

The attacking power of Tihad Casablanca when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Tihad Casablanca have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
