The small gap in the general classification motivates the sixteen teams to pull out all the stops and quickly climb the ladder.
The leading trio of the Botola Pro D1 “inwi” begins the 9th day, scheduled from Friday to Sunday, with the prospect of widening the gap to seize the leading place, while the teams at the bottom of the ranking will compete this day with the ambition of recovering to glean points before it is too late.
Waging a merciless battle in the race for the title of the Botola Pro D1 “inwi” football, the Renaissance sportive of Berkane, current leader of the general classification, and the Maghreb of Fez, runner-up, will once again be put to the test, when the first will receive the Moghreb of Tetouan and the second will challenge the Ittihad of Tangier.
The RSB will receive the MAT to increase its lead over its direct pursuers and preserve its first place. The Berkanis, who have the best defense in Botola having conceded only three goals in eight games, carried out the perfect hold-up against Wydad ten against eleven.
The visitors, exhilarated by their first victory of the season, are just as concerned by the victory. The penultimate place has stuck with them for long days. They have every interest in being creative against one of the most impenetrable formations in the championship.
As for the MAS, a supporter of the union minimum, it is against an IRT that it will fight to keep a second position which is the object of covetousness of several teams. The slightest misstep will represent a windfall to be seized. In addition, the Tangiers, who lost in their last two outings, are not ready to let points slip away. Ditto for AS FAR whose purse only collected two points out of six possible. At home, she will host the Renaissance of Zemamra whose trips are rather a success since she has already beaten Hassania Agadir before surprising the IRT. The Soldiers are therefore warned. This meeting is well undermined.
Olympic de Safi should also be wary of their next face to face with Jeunesse sportive de Soualem. Seventh with 12 points, the JSS counts COD Meknes, Raja and IRT in its field and does not intend to stop there. The poor shape of the OCS is to its advantage. At the same time, this poor shape could stimulate the Sharks to leave the danger zone.
This zone particularly threatens Chabab Mohammedia, the red lantern with only one unit. In the midst of a crisis, the club plunged a little further with the last painful defeat against MAT with a score of 3 goals to 0.
The quest for a first success torments the minds of the players and staff who will host Union de Touarga on Saturday. It went from second to tenth place in the general classification in the space of just two days.
It is imperative for the premises to find some peace and quiet. The discontent of the supporters continues to increase. Everything suggests that this match will be open since the two protagonists need three points.
In El Jadida, Difaâ will face Hassania Agadir, the only team with RSB to have made it three times. A fourth success will not be refused. The Doukkalis, under the direction of Zakaria Abboub, are seeking to recover and make up for their delay accumulated during the previous days.
This day will also be particularly marked by the great fight between the FUS and Wydad. With fairly similar statistics and an identical number of points, this match therefore constitutes an opportunity to distance themselves from their counterparts.
Finally, Raja under the leadership of Ricardo Sa Pinto still cannot express himself. The Portuguese’s record is worrying. One defeat and two draws. Enough to sow doubt in the minds of supporters who expect to see a new face of their team against the CODM.
