FUS Rabat vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: The Rabat Derby won’t deprive us of goals

On Monday, FUS Rabat will face off against arch-rival AS FAR Rabat in the Rabat Derby at the Stade Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium. The home side will be out to avenge their recent defeat against the Royal Army, while the visitors will look forward to becoming just the second team to amass the maximum points against FUS Rabat since May.

The hosts are going through a rough patch this season, with five victories in fourteen games. FUS Rabat can’t seem to replicate last season's form, as they have managed just a win in their previous seven matches. FUS Rabat let their fans down as they failed to win against a struggling Mouloudia Oujda. Despite being in a winning position, they were shown the red card and conceded two thereafter. FUS Rabat retained the 5th spot on the log, picking up twenty-one points from a combined forty-two. FUS Rabat have won twice and drawn four games on their ground this season.

The Royal Army maintained their undefeated run, winning by three goals against Maghreb Tetouan. The convincing victory came after their poor (2-2) share of the spoils on the road. AS FAR Rabat are one of the two sides tipped to secure the Botola Premier League this season, and a win here will see them leapfrog Raja Casablanca at the top of the summit.

AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten in their last two games on the road, and we expect them to play with great momentum here.

Over their previous twenty meetings, FUS Rabat have won eight while AS FAR Rabat have recorded five wins and seven games ending in a deadlock. FUS Rabat have struggled in recent games, and there are no indications that they’ll secure the maximum points here, especially without Hamza El Moudene, who was shown a red card in their most recent game. On the other hand, everything seems to be working out well for the visitors, who have lost just once in their previous eight matches. The home team have always been the better side in this Derby, but they have dipped in form lately. I think the visitors will bring the game to the hosts, which might likely end in a goal for both teams for 2.07.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.34.

Both teams will likely settle for a halftime draw here for 1.94.

Good luck!
