Expert Betting Tips

The two teams have to approach this game with intent, but FAR Rabat have the bigger chance. While the road team has remained unbeaten in recent matches, the level at which FAR Rabat is also incredible, given their competitiveness so far this season. Moghreb Tetouan have not had luck lately, with no goals scored, as they also conceded two each in each game. To be fair, I do expect a lot of improved play from Moghreb Tetouan, who have failed to show confidence and competitiveness in recent times. While at home, this team might have a good chance of scoring, but FAR Rabat look so determined, and I trust them to win.
