A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Raja Casablanca fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Ittihad Tanger's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Raja Casablanca form and stats

This stadium, Stade Mohamed V, has been a fortress for Raja Casablanca in the Botola Pro so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-1-1. After failing to beat Mouloudia Oujda here at Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 464 minutes.

Raja Casablanca are returning here after visiting FUS Rabat in a Botola Pro game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Hassania Agadir and winning 2-0.

Ittihad Tanger form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ittihad Tanger so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. Three has not been a lucky number for Ittihad as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Difaa El Jadida match.

Ittihad aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 356 league minutes without a goal. H. Y. Konate E. was the last player to find the net.

Home advantage was not enough for Ittihad in their previous game, as they lost their Botola Pro-match, hosting Wydad Casablanca, 0-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Mouloudia Oujda before that.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ittihad's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 10 matches. Ittihad Tanger's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Ittihad Tanger - Raja Casablanca 1-4.
