Competition: Morocco Botola 2
Competition: Fri 14.February
Match begins: 00:00 (UTC)

Sidi Kacem hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 16th position in the Botola 2 table. Visiting Wydad Fès holds 7th place with 24 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Wydad Fès 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 3-10-6 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
