FAR Rabat and Difaa EL Jadida meet level on points

A tight table test

There is little between FAR Rabat and Difaa EL Jadida in the Botola Pro standings: both have eight points, with FAR Rabat 11th and Difaa EL Jadida 12th. FAR Rabat have played one fewer match, five to six, and sit a place higher on goal difference or other tie-breakers. That makes this meeting at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah an opportunity for either side to make a small but meaningful move in the crowded lower half of the table.

FAR Rabat’s record stands at two wins, two draws and one defeat, while Difaa EL Jadida have two wins, two draws and two defeats. The hosts have conceded four goals in the league and kept three clean sheets; the visitors have scored and conceded 13, without a clean sheet.

Contrasting recent runs

FAR Rabat’s league results have alternated between wins and draws before ending in defeat in their most recent match. Across their last five, they have scored six and conceded four. At home, they have two wins and one defeat from three matches, with four goals scored and two conceded.

Difaa EL Jadida arrive on a steadier run: two consecutive draws and four league matches unbeaten. Their last five have brought two wins, two draws and a defeat, with 11 goals scored and seven conceded. They have taken a win and a draw from two away league matches, scoring six times and conceding three.

Recent meetings favour FAR Rabat

FAR Rabat have won three of the last five meetings, with Difaa EL Jadida winning once and one match drawn. Three of those five games had two goals or fewer. The latest meeting, a September friendly, finished 1-1.

Players to watch

FAR Rabat’s home scoring and defensive record will be important against a visitor who have found the net regularly but are still seeking their first clean sheet. Difaa EL Jadida’s 11 goals across their last five league matches show the attacking threat they bring, though their seven concessions in that spell underline the challenge of containing the hosts.

Our prediction

FAR Rabat’s stronger home record and the visitors’ run without a clean sheet point towards the hosts edging this contest. PreviaXI’s model also favours FAR Rabat, with its most likely scoreline reflecting the home side’s greater attacking edge.
