Khouribga are welcoming Rapide Oued Zem for another important game after their 2-1 result against 14th-placed Hassania Agadir.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-8-15 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
Khouribga form and stats
Khouribga have played 9 Botola Pro games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Khouribga.
Happy days for Khouribga in their previous game, a Botola Pro match away at Hassania Agadir (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that, Khouribga drew at home versus Olympic Safi.
The manager R. Loustik will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FUS Rabat in only four days.
The Khouribga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
