AS FAR Rabat vs Wydad AC Prediction: Both sides will be pleased with a point each

Two of the best sides in the Botola Pro League this season will lock horns at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah Stadium on Thursday. AS FAR Rabat, who sit at the top of the log, will host champions Wydad Casablanca later tomorrow.

AS FAR Rabat (1st)

Last five games: WDDWW

Fernando Da Cruz's side have been phenomenal this season, having gone eight games without a loss. The home side are one of the two sides not to have tasted defeat this season, with five wins and three draws. Just before their intercontinental trip, they defeated the resilient Hassania as Joseph Guede's goal in the 92nd minute secured AS FAR Rabat all the points. More recently, they beat Moghreb Tetouan (0-2) at home as they leapfrogged Wydad at the top of the log.

AS FAR Rabat's draws this season have come against solid sides, and they have scored in all their eight games this season.

AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten at home with two wins and two draws in the last four matches.

Wydad Casablanca (2nd)

Last five games: WDWWD

The Red Castle head into this game without a coach as they await Petro Luanda's, Portuguese Gaffar. They have been the best team in league with five wins and three draws and have scored the second most goals (11) and conceded four.

Following their Derby win over Raja Casablanca, they secured another away win over Mouloudia Oujda, though we were not totally convinced as they scored just once. More recently, they settled for a goalless draw at home against a newly promoted side, and that was one of the reasons why Ammouta was laid off.

Wydad Casablanca have won two and drawn twice in the last away games.

Wydad Casablanca has been the better side in the last twenty meetings with eleven wins, while AS FAR Rabat have won three with six games ending in a draw.
