Jeunesse Sportive vs Maghreb Fez Prediction: A tight contest ahead

During this round of 18 matches in the Moroccan Botola Pro League, Jeunesse Sportive will be hosting Maghreb Fez at Stadium El Bachir, Mohammédia. There is only one point separating these two clubs in the rankings for the league; the host team, Jeunesse Sportive, is now in the eighth slot, and Maghreb Fez is currently in the ninth spot.

Jeunesse Sportive won one of their previous games against Ittihad Tanger, but they lost two games to Wydad Casablanca and FUS Rabat. Two of their games against Hassania Agadir and Olympic Safi ended in draws. Jeunesse Sportive was only able to score three goals while allowing six to their opponents. During the current league season, Jeunesse Sportive has scored 1.12 goals on average in every game they have played. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team was given 50 yellow cards and 4 red cards, which resulted in an average of 1.24 fouls for each game that they participated in. This season, Jeunesse Sportive has an average possession percentage of 44.41%.

Maghreb Fez comes into this match having not been victorious in any of their most recent five matches. Unfortunately, they were defeated in two matches by FAR Rabat and Wydad Casablanca, and their other three matches against Hassania Agadir, Moghreb Tétouan, and Olympic Safi ended in draws. The club was only able to score four goals while giving up six. Away from home, Maghreb Fez scored an average of one goal per game while allowing an average of 0.88 goals against. There were a total of 16 fouls committed by the squad, yet they received 41 yellow cards and 5 red cards. Maghreb Fez has extremely strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 51.31% throughout this season.

Taking into account how both of these teams have performed over the entirety of this season, this contest is shaping up to be a competitive one. On the other hand, given that I anticipate a significant amount of attacking play from both teams, I anticipate a match that features goals from both teams. Even so, it seems like a good idea to bet on a tie after the first half, since both teams are likely to get a lot of defensive cautions.
