It's still early in the Botola Pro season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the FAR Rabat - Rapide Oued Zem preview!

FAR Rabat and Rapide Oued Zem 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 Rapide Oued Zem 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 4-8-13 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.

FAR Rabat form and stats

The first Botola Pro game here at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season FAR Rabat's home game statistics were 4 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 15 games.

The points were shared in FAR Rabat's previous game, also at home. Visiting Olympic Safi (placed 8th) travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Difaa El Jadida with the scoreline 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with FAR Rabat perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FAR Rabat as a small favourite), we find six games. FAR Rabat has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the FAR Rabat at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Rapide Oued Zem form and stats

The manager H. Benabicha was unhappy after their last game, a Botola Pro match played at their home ground Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. Rapide Oued Zem suffered a 0-1 loss to Khouribga (placed 2nd). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Riadi Salmi in the Coupe Du Trone.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Rapide Oued Zem in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Rapide Oued Zem, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rapide Oued Zem manager H. Benabicha as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Moghreb Tetouan.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for FAR Rabat, 3 draws and 0 wins for Rapide Oued Zem. Over 2,5 goals: 0 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
