Riadi Salmi form and stats

Riadi Salmi have collected 10 points from their Botola Pro home games so far after 3-1-3. Riadi are very eager to stop a potential losing streak, having lost their two previous games here.

The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Hassania Agadir (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Botola Pro game ended 0-0.

Ahead of that match, Riadi lost 1-2 at home to Youssoufia Berrechid.

The Riadi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.

Olympic Safi form and stats

There's been little loot from Olympic Safi's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Botola Pro. Olympic Safi only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Olympic's previous game versus Khouribga (placed 13th), a Botola Pro 2-1 win played at home.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Ittihad Tanger's place.

Goals are few and far between in Olympic's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. It's not easy to score on Olympic as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
