Raja Casablanca vs FUS Rabat Prediction: This game could go either way

Stade Larbi Zaouli will be the venue for round 3 of the Morocco Botola Pro League between Raja Casablanca and FUS Rabat. The last meetings between these sides ended in wins for Raja Casablanca. How will this game unfold?

Raja Casablanca secured their first win of the season last weekend against Olympique de Safi. In a game that ended 2-3, Raja Casablanca needed two second-half strikes to take maximum points, thanks to Yousri Bouzok and Youssef Belammari’s strikes. However, their first two season matches ended in defeats to IR Tanger and Berkane. In their first three matches of the season, Raja Casablanca have three points, scored four goals and conceded six, leaving them seated 13th in the standings.

FUS Rabat were held to a goalless draw by IR Tanger in their last league game and will look to return to winning ways this time. In that game, FUS Rabat had 66 per cent of the possession and 17 shots attempted while failing to net any of the four on target. In the meantime, FUS Rabat have an unbeaten run of five matches heading into this game, winning three and drawing two. In the league, FUS Rabat have five points, positioning them 8th. 

This is going to be a very competitive match, with the two teams expected to be at their best. Raja Casablanca are at home and won the last matches of this fixture, but FUS Rabat have been very good heading into this fixture. Yet, at home, I am looking forward to getting things right after a bit of a poor start to the season. Expect a close one, but I will back this game to end with goals while Raja Casablanca take maximum points.
