Moghreb Tetouan vs FAR Rabat Prediction: Rabat to add to Tetouan's struggles

Saniat Rmel will host the Morocco Botola Pro League encounter between Moghreb Tetouan and FAR Rabat. The two teams are coming off a contrasting result, with the home side losing. While both teams settled for a draw in their last meeting, how will this game unfold?

Moghreb Tetouan's last league game was against Jeunesse Sportive Soualem, and they lost. In a match that ended 2-0, Moghreb Tetouan had 49 per cent of the possession and attempted six shots with only one on target. In the meantime, Moghreb Tetouan Moghreb Tetouan conceded twice in the second half despite holding their opponent to a goalless draw at halftime, with Kamal El Keraa and Karim Lagrouch striking for Sportive Soualem.

However, Moghreb Tetouan have lost their last three league games, the first two against Renaissance Zemamra and FUS Rabat. Moghreb Tetouan have only one win in their previous seven league matches, coming against IR Tanger, which ended 1-2 away from home. 

With ten points from 14 league matches, Moghreb Tetouan are seated 15th in the league standings. This team is seven points ahead of the bottom-placed Chabab Mohammedia while being seven points behind in avoiding relegation. 

FAR Rabat took on Hassania Agadir the previous weekend, and they secured a win. In a game that ended 2-1, FAR Rabat had 56 per cent of the possession and attempted eight shots with only three on target. However, this team needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Youssef El Fahli and Amine Zouhzouh's strikes in the first half. 

With their last weekend win, FAR Rabat remains unbeaten in seven competitive matches. In that run, they secured wins over Raja Casablanca Jeunesses Sportive Soualem, drawing Union Touarga, Mamelodi Sundowns, Maniema, and Wydad Casablanca. In that run, this team scored twelve goals while conceding six. 

Heading into this game, FAR Rabat have 24 points accumulated from 14 matches. This team is nine points adrift of first-placed Berkane. In their matches this season, FAR Rabat have scored 22 goals, the second most by any side, while conceding nine, being the second fewest conceded. 

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.
