The Raja Casablanca & RSB Berkane managers J. Sellami and T. Sektioui are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Botola Pro league table.
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 Casablanca and RSB Berkane.
The season is still full of potential for Casablanca as they can still win the whole Botola Pro. RSB Berkane are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Raja Casablanca form and stats
Raja Casablanca, who have the fewest conceded goals (19) in Botola Pro, have performed here at Stade Mohamed V this season with 10 wins from 13 Botola Pro matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Casablanca after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Before that, Raja Casablanca had a home game versus Rapide Oued Zem which ended with a victory 1-0.
The hometeam coach J. Sellami made a successful contribution in the game against Mouloudia Oujda, bringing on M. Moutouali who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Casablanca have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Casablanca as they are travelling to their away game against Khouribga in the Botola Pro. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Casablanca in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 13 league matches. Raja Casablanca are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Mohamed V in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 13 matches.
RSB Berkane form and stats
Playing away, RSB Berkane, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) away in Botola Pro, have won 6 games, drawn 6 and suffered 1 defeat in the Botola Pro this season. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the CR Khemis Zemamra game have they lost an away game, meaning Berkane has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Raja Beni Mellal.
Late heartbreak for Berkane in the CR Khemis Zemamra match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
We have checked recent matches where Berkane have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, one draw and two defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Moghreb Tétouan in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Berkane as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. Berkane are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
