FUS Rabat vs Olympique de Safi Prediction: An open encounter for the two sides to grab

In week seven of the Morocco Botola Pro League, FUS Rabat will take on Olympique de Safi at Fat'h Union Sport FUS. The previous time out, the two teams ended on the losing end. How will they respond in this week's fixture? Below, I will take a look at this fixture and make betting opportunities available. 

FUS Rabat are coming off a defeat against FAR Rabat, an encounter that ended 1-0. In that encounter, Amine Zouzouh's 51st-minute strike was the difference, being enough to seal maximum points for his side. In the meantime, this team has lost three matches of their last five, two others against Raja Casablanca and Chabab Benguerir. In the league, FUS Rabat have 8 points from a possible 18, leaving them 9th in the standings. 

Olympique de Safi's last league encounter was against IR Tanger, and this team ended up losing. In that game, Olympique de Safi went behind before the break, and despite Cheickne Samake and Abdoulaye Diarra's strikes, it was not enough to pick a point for them. Heading into this week's seven encounters, Olympique de Safi lost only one of their last four games, drew one, and won two. 

This is not going to be an easy encounter for either team, and they will need to be at their best and approach this game with their best tactics. At home, FUS Rabat have a higher chance of winning, but it is crucial to note they have not won in this fixture in consecutive fixtures. While heading into this fixture, the visiting Safi's last win in this fixture was in 2022. While this is an open one, looking at the two sides' recent records and recent performances, I expect a lot of defensive plays while the home team takes maximum points.
