Difaâ El Jadida form and stats

14 points is a decent return from 7 Botola Pro games here at Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi for Difaâ El Jadida. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi.

Difaâ El Jadida faced defeat in their previous match, away at RSB Berkane (0-1). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through four league games.

Raja Casablanca form and stats

Playing away, Raja Casablanca have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Botola Pro this season. The fact that Raja Casablanca have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Raja Casablanca had fun at their own home (Stade Ben Ahmed El Abdi) last time out, beating FAR Rabat 1-0.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Mouloudia Oujda.

Casablanca have another game that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Botola Pro game vs Olympic Safi. A grim programme for them!

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Raja Casablanca have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).

Head 2 Head

Raja Casablanca have not lost in the last 8 games (6-2-0) against Jadida.
