Botola Pro: Two participants in good shape get together for this match. Raja Casablanca could have a small edge with their 5th spot in the table?

Insights:
  • Raja Casablanca have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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 5-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Maghreb Fès and Raja Casablanca.
