Difaâ El Jadidi will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 1-0 Botola defeat in their last game at the hands of Olympique Khouribga.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Difaâ El Jadidi have shown defensive steel. In fact, Difaâ have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 6 goals on the way. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, however.

• haven't won against Raja Casablanca in their previous 2 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 3 home league matches.
