Chabab Mohammedia vs Difaa El Jadidi Prediction: Both teams will not have problem scoring

As part of the round of 18 matches in the Botola Pro League, Chabab Mohammedia will play host to Difaa El Jadidi at Stade El Bachir, Mohammédia. In the league standings, a point is just what separates the two teams. While the home team is coming off a draw with Mouloudia Oujda, Difaa El Jadidi were defeated by Wydad in their recent match.

The previous games that Chabab Mohammédia played resulted in a win against Ittihad Tanger, a loss against RSB Berkane, and three draws against FUS Rabat, Khouribga, and Mouloudia Oujda. Chabab Mohammédia was able to score four goals despite having three goals scored against them. During the current season of the league, Chabab Mohammédia has scored an average of 0.82 goals per game. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team was given 34 yellow cards and one red card, which resulted in an average of 0.59 fouls committed per game that they participated in. This season, Chabab Mohammédia has only kept the ball an average of 45.53% of the time. 

Difaa El Jadida comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against Ittihad Tanger, losing three to RSB Berkane, UTS Rabat, and Wydad Casablanca, and having one match against Raja Casablanca end in a draw. The team was held to three goals while allowing five goals. Away from home, Difaa El Jadida only managed to score 0.94 goals per game while allowing 1.29 to be scored against them. The team was issued a total of 40 cautions, including 38 yellow cards and 2 red cards, and they were called for a total of 14 fouls. Difaa El Jadida is not very strong at keeping control of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 47.88% in this season.

This match is important for both teams, so I predict a competitive and close game between the two of them. In spite of this, based on the makeup of their rosters and the quality of their play, I have a strong feeling that both of the teams will have opportunities to score during the course of the encounter. In addition, Difaa El Jadidi will be the favorite to win this match despite the fact that they will be competing away from their home turf against Chabab Mohammedia.
