Youssoufia Berrechid vs Jeunesse Sportive Soualem Prediction: Home team expected to struggle again

In the Morocco Botola Pro League, Youssoufia Berrechid will play Jeunesse Sportive Soualem at the Stade Municipal de Berrechid. Both teams are coming off defeats. Which side turns the tables in this game?

Youssoufia Berrechid are off a disappointing defeat at the hands of Hassania Agadir last time in the league. In that game, Youssoufia Berrechid scored first just 10 minutes into the game, with Anas Addaoui putting them in the lead. However, this team conceded twice before the end of the first half, before a similar poor defensive play in the second half. Heading into this game, Youssoufia Berrechid are without a win in their last four games, with a goalless draw against Moghreb Tetouan being their best result. 

Jeunesse Sportive Soualem are coming off a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Berkane. In that encounter, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem took the lead in the 7th minute of the game through Kamal El Keraa’s strike. However, the second half did not go for this side as they conceded in the 78th and 88th minutes. Still, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem had one win in their last five games, coming against Union Touarga, while they lost to FAR Rabat in one other encounter. However, their games against Renaissance Zemamra and Mouloudia Oujda ended in draws. In those matches, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem scored four goals while conceding six. 

This is a tough game to pick looking at the position of both teams and performances. Youssoufia Berechid should prove stubborn and do better at home, but they have been too awful to consider. On the other hand, Jeunesse Sportive Soualem is slightly better, but the fact that they are on the road raises doubt about how well they can perform. While both teams have been too weak defensively over weeks, which is evident in their past meetings, we can expect goals in this game. Also, with Jeunesse Sportive Soualem having a slight edge here, a win for them is worth risking.
