As the national professional league “Inoui” enters its 13th round, top-ranking teams are gearing up to extend their lead and seize the forefront.
The matches, scheduled for Thursday and Friday, promise ambitions of widening the point gap and securing dominance, while lower-ranked teams aim to make up for lost ground.
The Royal Army team, currently leading the standings with 26 points, faces the Salami Youth team, positioned 12th with 11 points.
The military side aspires to maintain its top spot and increase the point difference with its pursuers.
Having the best offensive record in the league with 24 goals, the team recently secured a last-minute victory against Hassania Agadir, with a score of 2-1 in the previous round.
Meanwhile, the second-placed Raja Casablanca, with 24 points, hosts Ittihad Tanger, currently 13th with 10 points.
Any slip by the Royal Army could see Raja Casablanca leapfrog into the lead, given the narrow two-point gap between them.
The third-placed Wydad Casablanca, holding 23 points, travels to face Olympic Safi, positioned seventh with 16 points.
Eager to secure three points and stay in close contention for the top spot, Wydad is looking to recover from a recent draw against Hassania (0-0), a match postponed from round 11.
Fourth-placed Renaissance Berkane, with 22 points and the best defensive record in the league, having conceded only five goals by the 12th round, faces a challenging away match against Chabab Mohammedia, aiming to maintain its position among the league leaders.
On the other end of the spectrum, teams at the bottom seek redemption for past performances.
Hassania Agadir, in particular, looks to secure its first win of the season against Maghreb Fes, currently ninth alongside Union Touarga and Chabab Mohammedia.
Having drawn six matches and lost six, Hassania faces a tough opponent in its quest for victory.
Similarly, Youssoufia Berrechid, positioned 15th with 8 points, aspires to secure a win against the formidable FUS Rabat, currently fifth with 20 points, despite the challenging task at hand.
The FUS Rabat aims to continue its successful campaign and maintain its spot among the league’s elite.
