Kawkab Marrakech are welcoming Chabab Rif Hoceima for another important game after their 1-1 result against 9th-placed Widad Témara.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Chabab Rif Hoceima have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-6-21 (win-draw-loss) from 30 matches.
