Additional Expert Predictions & Strategic Takeaways
- Expect a methodical and tactical first half, with Raja Casablanca controlling the tempo and limiting the home side’s transition opportunities.
- Lack of attacking impetus from Chabab Mohammedia makes them unlikely to score, especially early; the match could open up only after the break, especially if the away team takes the lead.
- Value may be found in backing Raja Casablanca to keep a clean sheet, and alternative goal markets such as “over 1.5 goals” and “last goal after 73 minutes.”
- Discipline is expected on the field, so prop markets involving red cards may hold less appeal.
