FUS Rabat vs Loto Popo FC Prediction: The Red and White will run riot here

FUS Rabat will lock horns with Benin-based Loto Popo at the Stade Moulay Hassan Stadium on Sunday. Fath Union Sport Football Club have won the competition once and are also two-time semi-finalists, while the visitors head here for the fourth consecutive season.

Fath Union Sport Football Club finished in third spot for the first time since they won the Morocco Botola Pro League in 2016. FUS Rabat picked up fifty-five points from a possible ninety and ended up being the best defensive team in the division. To prepare for this first African duel of the season, Fath played a friendly exhibition at the start of the week against its neighbour AS FAR, a match which ended in a draw (2-2).

FUS Rabat's last two appearances in this competition ended in a semifinal finish, and we are trusting them to win the trophy this time.

The visitors head here for the fourth consecutive season; their first appearance ended them in the group phase, where they finished 4th on the log. However, Loto Popo have been knocked out of the competition in the qualifying rounds in their last two seasons.

Loto Popo was only founded in 2021, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, taking over the ESAE FC team as part of a reform imposed by the Beninese Football League. It’ll be hard for them against one of the best in the tournament, but we expect them to fight here.

FUS Rabat return to this competition after some years off; they’ve tried to be here over the years but were only successful last season. FUS Rabat were the best defensive team in the Botola League last season and got to the final of Morocco's FA Cup. On the other hand, Loto Popo will be desperate to stun their opponent here, and we expect a fight from them. Regardless of what the visitors do, FUS Rabat are beast at home, and we expect them to win before the break for 1.50.

The Moroccan League is one of the most competitive leagues in the continent, and we expect the home side to show class here; bet on a total of over 3.5 goals for 2.20.

We expect the home team to win and score more than once before the break for 2.03.

Good luck!
