Mohamed Alaoui's men have been in blistering form since the season began. More recently, they left it late to secure a point on the road against Zemamra. Bakary Badji scored from the spot-kick to cancel the hosts' lead. Moghreb Tetouan were one of the promoted sides that remained in the league last season but almost got relegated after going five games without a win toward the end of the season. They have shown they have what it requires to stay in the division with two points behind the league leaders.

Moghreb Tetouan have lost twice, drawn once and won twice on the road this season.

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Moghreb Tetouan won five while Ittihad Tanger recorded eight wins and six games ending in a draw. The North Derby have produced less than two goals in nine of their last ten meetings. Ittihad Tanger will definitely hope to win their second game of the season, while the guests will strive for another solid performance on the road. This encounter doesn’t guarantee goals, and we think this fixture will end in a total of under 2.5 goals for 1.55.

It’ll take a whole lot for the hosts to win here, and we think both teams will be pleased with a point apiece for 3.02.

Both halves under 1.5 goals might surface here for 1.75.

Good luck!
