Raja Casablanca vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: This game could end either way, but we guarantee goals here

In this highly competitive fixture, the Green Eagles will face off against former league champions AS FAR Rabat at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium. Raja Casablanca have not lost against the Black Army over their previous eight meetings, but with their recent dip in form, the guests might pull a surprise stunt here.

Last five games: LWWWL

Former APOEL Nicosia manager Ricardo Sa Pinto began his reign as the coach of Raja Casablanca with a (2-1) defeat against a struggling home team. The Green Eagles, who opened the score after the break, went ball-watching as their opponent responded twice to snatch the lead. Before then, they won three consecutive league matches against Olympique Safi, FUS Rabat and Zemamra. 

The Green Eagles, who won the Botola Pro title by just a point, have had a poor start to the season. 

Raja Casablanca have had a mixed start to the season, and they’ll be poised to return to winning ways against a formidable opponent. 

After sacking Rusmir Cviko, who was in charge of their first two defeats, Raja Casablanca will continue their reign under new Portuguese coach Ricardo Sa Pinto.

After three games without a breakthrough, the Royal Army returned to winning with a slim (1-0) victory over FUS Rabat at home. Their form has nosedived over their three games, leading to the sacking of their Poland coach, Cheslav Mishnevic. AS FAR Rabat have acquired a new coach, Hubert Velud, a former Burkina Faso head tactician who swung into action and got his first win at home. 

They have picked up eleven points from a combined eighteen, scoring twelve and scoring three.

AS FAR Rabat are winless over their last five games on the road in all competitions.

Over their last twenty meetings, Raja Casablanca have won seven while AS FAR Rabat have recorded four victories and nine games ending in a tie. Raja Casablanca have not lost to the visitors in their last eight meetings. AS FAR Rabat head here with a clean sheet against FUS Rabat a few days ago. Even though AS FAR Rabat won the game, there were some moments where they were wasteful. On the other hand, Raja Casablanca came from a goal up to lose against JS Soualem on the road. 

AS FAR Rabat looked rejuvenated since their new French coach came in. They know the importance of this Derby, and we are confident they’ll make a statement against a side they’re yet to taste victory against in the last eight meetings. Both teams will start strong, and we anticipate an open game with goals at both ends; bet on BTTS and over 2.5 goals for 2.85.

This game could end either way, but Raja Casablanca will avoid back-to-back defeats; bet on a home win or draw and BTTS for 2.85.

The Green Eagles are not extremely coordinated at the back, and we think they’ll concede before the break for 2.55.

Good luck!
