Ittihad Tanger vs CA Youssoufia Berrechid Prediction: Home side to finally get their first victory of the season

Ittihad Tanger have a perfect opportunity to secure their first three points of the season when they host CA Youssoufia Berrechid at the Stade Saniat Rmel Stadium on Saturday.

The Hercules commenced their journey with a (0-2) defeat at home against Raidi Salmi. Ittihad Tanger, who had better ball possession, were not clinical enough as the visitors struck twice before the break to cart away the maximum points. Their second game ended in a defeat as they were narrowly beaten by RSB Berkane on the road. More recently, in a game where they were heavily tipped to secure maximum points, Ittihad Tanger fumbled as they conceded a late penalty to split points. The fixture was marred with a lot of missed chances, conceding a penalty, and hitting the post once. We actually think they deserved all the points against Mouloudia Oujda. Ittihad failed to make an impression in their last three games, but we expect a strong performance from them here.

The newly promoted side are yet to win a game this season; in fact, they’ve managed to score once since the beginning of the campaign. After their opening day (1-3) defeat against Wydad Casablanca, they bowed to another (1-0) loss to former league mate. More recently, they lost at home despite having (17) total shots to their opponent (6) as Mohammedia carted away the maximum points.

CA Youssoufia Berrechid have now gone four games without a breakthrough, conceding five while scoring once.

Over their previous ten meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won six while CA Youssoufia Berrechid have managed two wins and two games ending in a deadlock. Ittihad Tanger have won three and shared the spoils once over their last four home games against CA Youssoufia Berrechid. Ittihad Tanger deserved more than a point in their recent encounter with Mouloudia Oujda; they played very well and hit the post once. We think they’ll edge this one after watching them come close to securing a win in their last two games; bet on a home win for 2.25.

The common correct score here is (2-0); you can risk it for 8.40.

We expect this encounter to witness more than a goal for the home side.

Good luck!
