AS FAR Rabat vs Ittihad Tanger Prediction: We expect total dominance from the Royal Army

AS FAR Rabat will be hopeful to reclaim the second place on the log when they square off against Ittihad Tanger at the Municipal Stadium on Saturday. The hosts, who have been unstable lately, sacked their coach for the third time this season. They’ll be keen to bounce back just in time for the CAF Champions League knockout round. 

AS FAR Rabat (3rd)

Last five matches: WWDWL

The Royal Army's eight-game unbeaten run was halted by AS FAR Rabat on the road. They conceded twice against the Orange Boys and are now twelve points behind the league leaders. Despite controlling the game and having the same number of shots as their opponent, they failed to convert any against the best team in the division. Simply after the defeat, they were beaten in the Cup game by a Division Two side. 

For this reason, Hubert Velud has been sacked as AS FAR Rabat continue to look for a replacement. AS FAR Rabat have picked up thirty-four points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring twenty-nine and conceding fourteen.

AS FAR Rabat are undefeated over their last ten games on their ground.
