Our opinion is that RS Berkane has the potential to and should strive to maintain possession while also creating a number of scoring opportunities. On the other hand, Difaa El Jadidi might have trouble scoring a goal of their own, although we do think it's possible that they might be able to get one back for themselves during the course of this matchup. Despite this, we think the home team will pull out a victory, albeit by a narrow margin.
