In general it's been a long time since Wydad Casablanca tasted defeat here at Stade Père-Jégo, as they have taken at least one point from their last 26 home games.

Ittihad Tanger form and stats

As the visiting team Ittihad Tanger have produced an overall stat of 5-4-5 so far. Ittihad Tanger has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Ittihad Tanger failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Olympic Safi that ended with defeat 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kawkab Marrakech wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ittihad Tanger playing away, we found one game. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 0 home wins.
