The RSB, indestructible leader and author of a spectacular performance during the first phase with 11 wins, 3 draws and only 1 defeat, will try to widen the gap separating it from its immediate pursuers, notably AS FAR and Renaissance Zemamra.
If the Rajaoui club (6th/23 pts) aspires to heal its wounds after its defeat at Difaa El Jadida (2-0), last Wednesday in an update of the 14th day, the day after the dismissal of its Portuguese coach Ricardo Sa Pinto, he will be dealing with a Berkani team at the top of its level, both nationally and continentally.
On the other hand, Raja, who achieved an unprecedented feat last season by finishing the season without the slightest defeat, is in bad shape this season both in Botola and in the Champions League.
AS FAR to reduce the gap at the top
For its part, AS FAR, runner-up nine lengths behind RSB, will have a match within its reach, at least on paper, when it hosts Chabab Mohammedia, bottom with only 3 points.
The military club will thus try to bend the debates in its favor and wait for a misstep from the RSB in order to get closer to the leadership chair.
The day will also be marked by the rbati derby between FUS, which occupies 5th place with 23 points and Union Touarga, well placed in the middle of the ranking (10th, 19 pts).
For its part, the Renaissance Zemamra, revelation of this season, will welcome COD Meknes in a match in the antipodes. In fact, the RCAZ (3rd/25 pts) will have its sights set on regaining 2nd place, while the CODM, which remains on a severe defeat at the FUS (5-1) will try to escape from the zone relegation (13th/17 pts).
Another no less thrilling match will pit Wydad of Casablanca (4th) and MAS of Fez (8th), the opportunity for the winner of this duel to climb a few levels and keep in touch with the top of the rankings.
