Ittihad Tanger vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: This tough encounter will likely produce goals

Ittihad Tanger will lock horns against AS FAR Rabat at the Stade Municipal Stadium on Saturday. The league leaders have a stern test ahead of their clash against an inform Ittihad Tanger side tomorrow as they hope to maintain their spot on the log. 

Last five games: WLDWW

Since the arrival of coach Hilal Al-Tayr, Ittihad Tanger have won three in five games. The hosts, who hope to survive relegation this season, march here with back-to-back wins in the league. The Hercules returned from a goal down to secure the maximum point against ten men Union Touraga. Before then, they stunned Youssoufia Berrechid on the road, as El Hadji Kane scored the only goal which handed them the maximum points. Just like last season, where they were fourth tooth and nail to remain in the league, Ittihad Tanger are walking on the same path as they march here, intending to stay in the division. 

Ittihad Tanger moved to the 13th spot on the log, picking up twenty-one points from a combined sixty.

The Hercules have drawn five, won twice, and lost three games on their ground this season.

The Royal Army continue to dominate the league with their emphatic (3-0) victory over Union Touraga. Amine Zouhzouh came from the bench to score a hat trick as he helped his side amass the maximum points. 

Nasreddine Nabi's men have scored in their last eleven games and are now back at the top of the table. AS FAR Rabat are now a menace to teams in the division as they head here with eleven undefeated runs. AS FAR Rabat have scored the most goals (46), twelve more than their arch-rival in the division. AS FAR Rabat have lost twice, won five and drawn two games on the road this season. 

Over their previous eighteen meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won three, while AS FAR Rabat have recorded eleven wins and four games ending in a tie. Ittihad Tanger have pretty much improved in recent games and head here with three undefeated runs. At the same time, as AS FAR Rabat remain the best side in the league and without continental football interrupting their games, they’ll likely retain the Botola Pro League. However, they have a hurdle to overcome at the Stade Municipal Stadium tomorrow, as they’ll have to pay a price if they are to secure the maximum points. I’d rather focus on goals as Ittihad Tanger won’t be a walkover; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.00.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 1.92.

Both sides might even settle for a halftime draw for 2.10.

Good luck!
