Difaa El Jadidi vs Olympique de Safi Prediction: A competitive game is expected

Difaa El Jadidi vs Olympique de Safi will battle it out at Stade El Abdi in week five of the Botola Pro League. The last meeting between these sides ended in a win for the road team. Let's delve into full match previews while also providing betting opportunities. 

Difaa El Jadidi

Difaa El Jadidi returned to winning ways against FAR Rabata last time out and will feel confident going into this game. In that encounter, Khalid Baba's goal in the 30th minute was the difference, securing maximum points for Difaa El Jadidi. In the meantime, Difaa El Jadidi have two wins in their first two matches of the season, with their first being a 1-2 victory over Renaissance Zemamra. However, other encounters ended in defeats to Wydad Athletic and FUS Rabat. Going into week five, Difaa El Jadidi have seven points from a possible 12 after four matches, leaving them seated 7th in the standings. 

Olympique de Safi

Olympique de Safi are coming off a league defeat at the hands of Raja Casablanca and will look to show character in this game. In that game, Olympique de Safi came from behind to take the lead before the break, with Abdelghafour Lamirat and Cheickne Samake scoring for Olympique de Safi. However, their performance in the second half was poor as Yousri Bouzok leveled the score for Raja Casablanca from the spot in the 72nd minute. In the meantime, a 90th-minute strike by Youssef Belammari for Raja Casablanca denied Olympique de Safi a point in that game. Heading into this game, the road team has only one win in their first four matches of the season, losing two and drawing one other.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite recent poor plays, Olympique de Safi have a decent chance of winning this game. While Difaa El Jadidi have proven stubborn this season, their wins came against weaker sides, and Olympique de Safi's losses were also tough opponents. This should be an open game with the two teams having a good shot at winning, but I feel Olympique de Safi have a chance on the road, while both teams should score.
