Rabat are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Raja Casablanca. Until that beating this team had gone six consecutive league games without losing.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Chabab Mohammedia with a 3-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
