Khouribga are welcoming Raja Beni Mellal for another important game after their 0-1 result against 2nd-placed RSB Berkane.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Botola Pro.

Relegation threatens Khouribga who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Mellal it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

The Khouribga crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to RSB Berkane here at Stade du Phosphate in a Botola Pro match. Ahead of that match, Khouribga lost 0-1 at home to Ittihad Tanger.

Raja Beni Mellal form and stats

There's been little loot from Raja Beni Mellal's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 13 away games in the Botola Pro. Raja Beni Mellal, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Botola Pro, only have 0 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row. Three has not been a lucky number for Mellal as they have been defeated three times in a row since the FUS Rabat match.

Mellal have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 276 minutes ago. A. Benjelloun was the goal scorer.

Home advantage was not enough for Mellal in their previous game, as they lost their Botola Pro-match, hosting RSB Berkane, 0-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Ittihad Tanger.

After this away game Raja Beni Mellal return home for a Botola Pro game against FAR Rabat. That game is only four sleeps after this.
