Difaa El Jadidi vs Jeunesse Sportive Soualem Prediction: A strong start is expected from both teams

At Ben M’Hamed El Abdi Stadium, Difaa El Jadidi and Jeunesse Sportive Soualem will play for the first time in the Morocco Botola Pro League for the 2024/2025 season. With high expectations this season, how will these teams begin their campaign? 

Difaa El Jadidi will hope for a solid start to the Pro League having finished second the previous season in the Botola 2. In that season, Difaa El Jadidi had 52 points from a possible 90, scoring 33 goals and conceding 20 in the same number of games. Entering into the Pro League, Difaa El Jadidi are unbeaten in eight successive matches, winning four and drawing four. 

Jeunesse Sportive Soualem head into this game hoping for a better season performance, having only avoided relegation last season with just 2 points. In that season, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem played in 30 matches, scoring 30 goals while conceding 27. However, looking at their run of games into this new season, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem had two wins, coming against Union Touarga and Youssoufia Berrechid, while losing to Berkane and FAR Rabat, with one other encounter ending in a goalless draw with Mouloudia Oujda. 

These are two sides hoping to get a positive result out of this fixture. While Difaa El Jadidi plays from home, it is crucial to note they are just coming off relegation. On the other hand, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem did not have much success last season but maintained their status in being in the top flight. This match in general, looks like an open one where both teams will have high hopes of getting their chances in front of goal. However, with this one not looking like there will be a winner, a 1-1 draw should be a perfect scoreline.
