Struggling Khouribga will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Raja Casablanca in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Relegation threatens Khouribga who should definitely be looking for some points here. Raja Casablanca are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
