Sidi Kacem are welcoming Chabab Rif Hoceima for another important game after their 0-3 result against 10th-placed Kawkab Marrakech.

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!

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 (artificial 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.
