Last five games: WLDWW

Since the arrival of coach Hilal Al-Tayr, Ittihad Tanger have won three in five games. The hosts, who hope to survive relegation this season, march here with back-to-back wins in the league. The Hercules returned from a goal down to secure the maximum point against ten men Union Touraga. Before then, they stunned Youssoufia Berrechid on the road, as El Hadji Kane scored the only goal which handed them the maximum points. Just like last season, where they were fourth tooth and nail to remain in the league, Ittihad Tanger are walking on the same path as they march here, intending to stay in the division.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous eighteen meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won three, while AS FAR Rabat have recorded eleven wins and four games ending in a tie. Ittihad Tanger have pretty much improved in recent games and head here with three undefeated runs. At the same time, as AS FAR Rabat remain the best side in the league and without continental football interrupting their games, they’ll likely retain the Botola Pro League. However, they have a hurdle to overcome at the Stade Municipal Stadium tomorrow, as they’ll have to pay a price if they are to secure the maximum points. I’d rather focus on goals as Ittihad Tanger won’t be a walkover; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.00.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 1.92.

Both sides might even settle for a halftime draw for 2.10.

Good luck!
