Botola Pro: Two squads who have done fine so far. Get ready for Raja Casablanca - Maghreb Fès with this broad preview!

Insights:
  • Raja Casablanca have the fewest conceded goals (8) in Botola Pro
  • Raja Casablanca have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Maghreb Fès have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Maghreb Fès 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 5-17-9 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

This has all the signs of an interesting fixture with lots of spark and energy as both contenders are well renewed since they last ran out on the pitch. Get this show on the road!
