Ittihad Tanger vs Raja Casablanca Prediction: Can the hosts break the jinx of eight consecutive games without a breakthrough?

Ittihad Tanger are presented with another opportunity to secure their second three points of the season when they host Raja Casablanca at the Stade Saniat Rmel Stadium on Wednesday. The guests who went all season without a defeat began their journey with a home defeat, and they’ll be keen to adjust quickly against a strong Ittihad Tanger team. 

The Hercules commenced their journey with a (0-1) victory on the road to Hassania Agadir. Ittihad Tanger, who had less of the ball possession, were clinical enough as they struck once and hit the post once to cart away the maximum points. 

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

Ittihad failed to make an impression in their last eight meetings against Raja Casablanca, but we expect a strong performance from them here.

The Green Eagles started their campaign with a shocking home defeat against RSB Berkane. Raja Casablanca who went the entire season without failing to get a shot at goal in the entire game. They were tactically outplayed by RSB Berkane, who could have scored more than just a goal. 

Raja Casablanca, who won the Botola Pro title by just a point, overtook their title rivals AS FAR Rabat on the table after their hard-fought victory over Wydad Casablanca on matchday 28. Josef Zinnbauer's men went the whole season without a defeat as they were crowned the champions. 

Rusmir Cviko's men will be hopeful of picking up from where they stopped on the road last season.

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won four while Raja Casablanca have recorded ten wins and five games ending in a deadlock. Ittihad Tanger are in high spirits heading here following their opening day victory over Hassania Agadir. However, they have a difficult hurdle to overcome against a Raja Casablanca team who have terrorized them over their previous eight meetings. 

The last time Ittihad Tanger won this fixture was in 2020; it’ll take lots of defensive shifts and focus to get a point from this game. This fixture produced more than nine goals last season; we expect this fixture to witness more than two goals.

Ittihad Tanger will definitely put up a good fight here and we think they might get a goal before the break for 3.45.

We expect to see goals in both halves for 2.50.

Good luck!
