Insights:
  • Tihad Casablanca have the most conceded goals (35) in Botola 2
  • Wydad Fès have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Tihad Casablanca and Wydad Fès should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

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 2-5-14 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.

Tihad Casablanca form and stats

Tihad Casablanca's results here at Stade Larbi Benbarek in the Botola 2 have been very modest with 1 victory, 8 draws and 2 defeats. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Casablanca are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Olympique Dcheïra.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Stade Marocain that ended 2-2.

The Casablanca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
