vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Botola 2 season has only just begun and neither side has any points yet, so form is read from last season's closing games. Wydad Fès arrive on the back of just one win in their last six matches, with four draws and one defeat: the most recent was a 1-1 away draw with Mouloudia Oujda, preceded by a 3-0 win over El Massira, before that a 1-1 draw with this very Union Sportive Boujaad side, further back another draw, 2-2 with Racing de Casablanca, further back still a 1-1 draw at Moghreb Tetouan and, furthest back of all, a 0-2 defeat at Stade Marocain. Union Sportive Boujaad bring three wins, two draws and one defeat in their last six: their last game was a 4-1 win over Rapide Oued ZEM, preceded by another win, 1-0 away to the same opponents, before that a 4-0 win over Racing de Casablanca, further back a goalless draw at Chabab Ben Guerir, further back still the 1-1 draw with Wydad Fès and, furthest back of all, a 0-1 defeat at USM Oujda. In the most recent meeting, played at Union Sportive Boujaad, the two sides drew 1-1; in the meeting before that, played at Wydad Fès instead, it was Wydad Fès who won 1-0. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
