Match preview: 15 points are between the teams so far, Raja Casablanca on top. Will FUS Rabat pull off a surprise?
- FUS Rabat have the most points from losing position (9) in Botola Pro
- Raja Casablanca have the fewest conceded goals (7) away in Botola Pro
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Raja Casablanca have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-3-0 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Botola Pro.

When FUS Rabat hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Youssoufia Berrechid, Mouloudia Oujda, Rapide Oued Zem, Olympic Safi and Ittihad Tanger), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Raja Casablanca form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 6 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Botola Pro. The fact that Casablanca have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
Impressive finishing from Moutouali and Benjdida secured the home win 2-0 against Mouloudia Oujda in their previous game.
Raja Casablanca have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Casablanca as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
