Jeunesse Sportive Soualem vs Maghreb Fez Prediction: Both teams are struggling

Stade El Bachir in Mohammédia is set to host the 20th round of the Morocco Botola Pro League, featuring a match between Jeunesse Sportive Soualem and Maghreb Fez. Let's review the match previews and formulate a prediction.

Jeunesse Sportive Soualem will be eager for a better outcome in this match, following their 1-0 defeat in the Botola against Olympique de Safi. Abdoulaye Diarra's lone goal in the 69th minute made the difference in that game. Lately, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem has struggled to keep clean sheets, although they have also managed to score themselves. A review of their last six games reveals that Jeunesse Sportive Soualem conceded goals in all six matches, while also scoring in five of those games.

Maghreb Fèz comes into this match with one victory in their last five games, secured against Moghreb Tétouan in a 0-2 result. However, they faced defeats against FUS Rabat, Raja Casablanca, and Renaissance Zemamra, with one fixture ending in a draw against Wydad Casablanca. During these matches, the away team scored six goals and conceded seven. In away games, Maghreb Fèz averaged 1.21 goals scored and 1.16 goals conceded per match. Notably, they maintain good ball possession, averaging 53.00% overall possession for the season.

Both teams have faced recent struggles, but the visitors have displayed slightly better overall performance this season. I anticipate that they will put in a solid effort to avoid a defeat. However, it's essential not to underestimate the hosts, and I have confidence in their capabilities. Consequently, in a scenario where both teams are likely to score, placing a bet on a 1-1 draw appears to be the most favorable outcome.
