FAR Rabat vs Ittihad Tanger: Can Rabat Stretch Their Unbeaten Run?

The last time these sides met, in Tangier in May, neither could break the deadlock, and the goalless draw extended a run that has become a talking point for FAR Rabat. In their last five league meetings, Rabat have won twice, drawn three times and never lost. Wednesday’s Botola Pro fixture at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah offers the chance to keep that record intact.

A side in the chasing pack

Ittihad Tanger sit fifth in the 16-team table with seven points from four matches, while FAR Rabat are 12th with four points from two games. Rabat have played less, so the standings are still taking shape, but Tanger have started the season with the stronger record and will see this trip to the capital as a chance to press the leaders.

Form

Tanger arrive with a mixed but productive start: seven goals scored and five conceded in four league outings. Rabat have one win and one draw, with three goals scored and two conceded. Rabat have been most effective at home, where they have won their only match, while Tanger have been more potent in attack over the wider run of games.

Head-to-head

Rabat’s dominance in this fixture is built on resilience rather than heavy scorelines. They won 2-1 away in March 2024 and 3-2 at home in February 2025, and have shared the points in three other meetings, including the 0-0 draw in May. Across those five matches, Rabat have scored seven goals to Tanger’s five. Tanger’s only home meeting in that run ended in a draw, which suggests this rivalry is tight and rarely settled by a single moment.

PreviaXI’s model favours the home side, though a tight, low-scoring contest looks more likely than an open one.

Our prediction

Rabat’s home form and their history against Tanger give them the edge, but Tanger’s attacking output means they will not be easy to hold. Expect a cautious first half and a game decided by a single goal, with Rabat’s defensive discipline proving decisive.
