Ittihad Tanger vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: Can the hosts break the jinx of nine consecutive games without a breakthrough?

Ittihad Tanger, who have had one of their best starts to the season, will be keen to maintain their unbeaten run when they host a determined AS FAR Rabat at the Stade Saniat Rmel Stadium on Sunday. The guests who have had a tough start to the season can’t afford to drop points here. 

The Hercules are up and running this campaign, heading here without a defeat. Ittihad Tanger have been ruthless in their approach this season, and if they sustain such an attitude, they might secure a top-four spot. Following their (0-0) stalemate against FUS Rabat with nine men, Ittihad Tanger settled for a share of the spoils against RSB Berkane. Even though they have had difficult fixtures, Ittihad Tanger have been resilient in their approach. 

Ittihad Tanger finished 12th last season and have had a decent start compared to their previous campaigns. 

Ittihad failed to make an impression in their last nine meetings against AS FAR Rabat, but we expect a strong performance from them here.

The Royal Army were below par once again as they were beaten by newly promoted El Jadida on the road. AS FAR Rabat underestimated their opponent and were punished duly. El Jadida, who scored before the break, defended well and could have scored more against AS FAR Rabat. This was after their (1-1) share of the spoils against RSB Berkane on their ground. The result ended their six games unbeaten run in the league and also halted their record of twenty-two games with at least a goal. 

AS FAR, Rabat bowed to pressure from the guests, who were tactically great offensively. AS FAR, Rabat have lost twice in over ten games on the road.

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won three while AS FAR Rabat have recorded twelve wins and four games ending in a deadlock. Ittihad Tanger are in high spirits heading here following recent performances. They’ll be poised to make another stalemate against a potential title contender. At the same time, the guests will be keen not to lose back-to-back matches in the league. AS FAR Rabat have been below par this season even though they have scored the most goals.

Ittihad Tanger have been an outstanding team so far, but it’s not going to be a smooth sail against the guests; however, we believe both teams will get a goal apiece here for 2.15.

We also think the hosts might likely get a goal before the break for 3.30.

We expect an open game with more than two goals here for 2.00.

Good luck!
