Another interesting game in the Botola Pro. Wydad Casablanca is in the 2nd position after playing five matches. They welcome FAR Rabat who are placed 9th after six games.

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.

Wydad Casablanca form and stats

Wydad Casablanca, who have the most scored goals (9) in Botola Pro, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Botola Pro games here at Complexe Sportif de Fès.

The Wydad Casablanca crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to RSB Berkane here at Complexe Sportif de Fès in a Botola Pro match. Before that, Wydad Casablanca had a home game versus Ittihad Tanger which ended with a victory 4-0.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Wydad Casablanca's attacking play is working. Wydad Casablanca have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

FAR Rabat form and stats

Things could have gone better for FAR Rabat in their Botola Pro away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

FAR Rabat play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Hassania Agadir (placed 12th). A loss against Difaâ El Jadida was the result prior to that, in a home game.

FAR Rabat are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The FAR Rabat manager A. Talib has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Wydad Casablanca won 6, FAR Rabat won 1 and 3 draws. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 6 matches with two goals or less.
