Second-placed CODM Meknès visit Amal Tiznit on Saturday in a fixture that carries real weight for a side with ambitions near the top. With 7 points from four matches, Meknès sit firmly in the upper reaches, while Tiznit, on 4 points and 11th, need a result to climb out of the lower half. Every point dropped at this stage can shape the title and qualification picture further down the line.
Form lines pointing one way
Meknès have been the more potent side on the road, scoring six of their seven goals away from home, and they have conceded just three in total. Tiznit have struggled to keep the ball out, shipping nine goals in four games, eight of them at home, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet there. Their own attack is not the problem, with five goals scored, but two home defeats have left them little margin for error.
Our prediction
PreviaXI’s model favours the visitors, and the football backs that up. Meknès are the more clinical side away from home and have the tighter defence, while Tiznit’s home record has been leaky. Expect a cagey, tight contest where a single moment could settle it, and Meknès are best placed to take it.
