Struggling Raja Beni Mellal will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying RSB Berkane in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Botola Pro game only four days ago.

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