AS FAR Rabat vs JS Soualem Prediction: The Royal Army are desperately in need of the maximum points

The chance of retaining the Botola Pro title is now in the Royal Army’s court as they must secure the maximum points against JS Soualem at the Kenitra Municipal Stadium on Tuesday. However, it won’t be smooth sailing against a relegation-threatened JS Soualem.

The Royal Army had a setback in their attempt to defend the title successfully; they surrendered to a defeat against Hassania Agadir on the road. Despite being the better side, they suffered a loss when they were reduced to ten men. The defeat caused a change in their quest to secure the Botola Pro League title, as they are just a point ahead on the log, and any slip here might cost them the trophy. 

Nasreddine Nabi's men have scored in their last eighteen matches and have now scored the most goals (58), twelve more than Raja Casablanca in the second spot on the log. AS FAR Rabat have won eleven and drawn twice on their ground this season.

Bouchaib El Moubarki's men have been pretty solid lately, losing just one of their last four matches. JS Soualem settled for a share of the spoils against relegation-threatened Mouloudia Oujda on their ground. The result was after their (0-1) victory over Union Touraga away from home. 

JS Soulem have been slightly above average this season, as they sit in the 13th spot, having picked up twenty-seven points from a possible eighty-one. JS Soualem have lost ten and won three over their previous thirteen matches away from home. 

AS FAR Rabat have won twice while JS Soualem have recorded a win and four games ending in a share of the spoils in their previous seven meetings. AS FAR Rabat head into this fixture after their setback against Hassania Agadir. The hosts have been vulnerable at the back in recent matches, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet over their last four games in all competitions. At the same time, JS Soualem are fighting to remain in the division and have only lost once in five matches. 

Over their last four meetings, this game has produced a BTTS, and considering the nerves involved, we expect an open encounter. It’s a must-win game for both teams, and we think the hosts will secure the maximum points but at the detriment of conceding; bet on BTTS for 2.75.

We expect the hosts to win before the break for 1.60.

We think this game will produce more than two goals for 1.70.

Good luck!
