Olympique Safi vs Hassania Agadir Prediction: The hosts will definitely come out unhurt here

Olympique Safi will lock horns against Hassania Agadir on Saturday at the Stade El Massira Stadium. A defeat for the home side might halt their hope of playing Intercontinental football next season while the guests strive to end their back-to-back defeats. 

Last five matches: DWLWL

Amine El Karma’s men suffered another league defeat as they were outnumbered by Wydad Casablanca on the road. Olympique Safi didn’t do much in that game and deserved the defeat against a side who have been fighting to regain momentum. However, that was not the mentality before the game, as Olympique hoped to get back-to-back victories after their (3-0) win over CODM Meknes. 

Olympique Safi have picked up fourteen points from their last thirty-six games, scoring fourteen and conceding seventeen. 

Olympique Safi are definitely a top side and have won back-to-back games on their home turf. 

Last five games: WLWLL

Marcos Paqueta's side have been below par lately, marching here with back-to-back defeats. After scoring first against Raja Casablanca, Hassania Agadir were smashed three clean goals in front of their home supporters without a red card. Despite having a better (xG) against their opponent, they were only able to convert one of their five shots at goal. This was after their (2-1) defeat against another strong opponent, RSB Berkane, away from home. 

Hassania Agadir's last win was against relegation-threatened SCC Mohammedia at home. They are also one of the teams to have drawn the fewest games this campaign. Hassania Agadir are now six points away from the relegation zone, and a defeat here might see them drop further on the log. Hassania Agadir have won twice and lost three times on the road this season. 

Their last twenty meetings have seen Hassania Agadir with seven victories while Olympique Safi have recorded six wins and seven games ending in a draw. Hassania Agadir have failed to win their last two games and are lucky to have maintained their spot on the log. At the same time, Olympique Safi have been inconsistent in recent weeks but have won back-to-back games at home.

Four of their last five meetings have ended in a stalemate; this record can’t be overlooked. I have an impression that the hosts will likely win this time, but I’d rather give them a double chance and over 1.5 goals for 1.81.

I also think the hosts might score just before the break for 2.04.

The guests haven’t drawn any game on the road this campaign, but we know how football works.

Good luck!
