Ittihad Tanger vs Union Touraga Prediction: The hosts are the favorite to secure the maximum points, but it won't come easy

Ittihad Tanger will lock horns against Union Touarga at the Stade El Bachir Stadium on Thursday. The visitors are currently playing well in the division and are unbeaten in their last four games. At the same time, the Hercules are working their way up the log and must win here to stand a chance of escaping relegation.  

Last five games: LWLDW

Hilal Al-Tayr's men are having a great time in the league again, with two games without defeat. Ittihad Tanger march here with a deserved (0-1) victory away from home. The Hercules scored just before the break and protected the lead with their lives to secure the maximum points. 

Just like last season, where they were fourth tooth and nail to remain in the league, Ittihad Tanger are walking on the same path as they march here, intending to stay in the division. 

Ittihad Tanger retained the 15th spot on the log, picking up seventeen points from a combined fifty-four.

The Hercules have drawn five, won once, and lost three games on their ground this season. 

Last five games: LWWDD

The visiting team head here without a defeat in their previous four games; they have won twice and drawn two games. Union Touraga held a solid Raja Casablanca on their ground in a (0-0) share of the spoils. They stopped the Green Eagles from finding the back of the net, ending their opponent's eleven games of consistency in front of goal. 

Their recent run placed them among the elite in the league, and a win here could move them into the continental spot. 

They have scored twenty-one goals this season but have been vulnerable at the back, conceding twenty times. 

US Touraga have lost four, won three, and drawn twice away from home this season. 

Over their previous three meetings, Union Touraga have won once and two games ending in a tie. Their last two meetings have produced eight goals, with both teams settling for a share of the spoils. Ittihad Tanger are pretty solid but have lacked consistency since the season began. The Hercules have struggled on their ground this campaign, with just a win in nine games. On the other hand, Union Touarga have been solid defensively in their last two games. They locked horns with RSB Berkane and Raja Casablanca, which allowed them to play more defensively, as they don't have enough quality to go toe-to-toe against them. However, it'll be a different ball game here, and we expect an open encounter with BTTS for 2.10.

We think the home side stand a better chance; bet on home win either half for 1.76.

We expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.40.

Good luck!
