FUS Rabat form and stats

FUS Rabat have collected 2 points from their Botola Pro home games so far after 0-2-2.

No payout for FUS Rabat in their previous match, an away game at Riadi Salmi that ended in defeat 0-1.

Before that game, the home loss against Khouribga with the scoreline 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with FUS Rabat perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FUS Rabat as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Rabat has won six of these, drawn four and lost four.

Ittihad Tanger form and stats

As the visiting team in Botola Pro matches, Ittihad Tanger have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far.

Ittihad Tanger had fun at their own home (Stade du FUS) last time out, beating Difaâ El Jadida 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against Difaâ El Jadida was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 1-4 defeat away at RSB Berkane before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ittihad Tanger playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were five Ittihad wins, five draws and seven defeats.

The attacking power of Ittihad when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Ittihad struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head statistics (for the preceeding ten meetings): FUS Rabat won five games, one match ended with a tie and Ittihad Tanger managed four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
