Most Notable Results: Deep Dive
FAR Rabat 3-0 CODM Meknès
This result was a statement victory for FAR Rabat, who dominated both possession and chances. Our prediction favored a win for FAR (69%), which proved spot-on, but the expected over 2.5 goals underperformed as the match saw a defensive battle until FAR’s lethal finishing in the second half. Their clinical execution highlighted their current form and offensive depth, making them one of the standout teams early in the season.
Maghreb Fès 1-1 Kawkab Marrakech
The draw was a mild surprise, especially since we predicted a Maghreb Fès win at 53%. The match was evenly contested, with both sides canceling each other out. Our over/under call was correct, as the match stayed under 2.5 goals, but the BTTS prediction failed as neither team scored in the second half.

Hassania Agadir 0-1 Raja Casablanca
In this tightly contested encounter, Raja Casablanca’s narrow victory was a highlight of the round.
