Ittihad Tanger vs El Jadida Prediction: The Hercules will struggle against their opponent here

Ittihad Tanger, who have now failed to win any of their last eight league games, might decide to sack their coach if they fail to amass all the points against El Jadida at the Stade Saniat Rmel Stadium tomorrow. 

Ittihad Tanger (13th)

Last five games: DLLDL

For a side who was tipped to challenge for the Botola League title this season after their decent start, Ittihad Tanger have been nothing short of disappointing. They suffered their fifth defeat of the season against CODM Meknes, conceding once on the road. Things have not been going well for the hosts, who have now picked up three points from a combined twenty-four in their last eight matches. 

The Hercules have drawn six, won three and lost five games since the league began.

Ittihad Tanger have won once, lost three and drawn two games at home this season. 

El Jadida (9th)

Last five games: WLWDD

Jorge Paixao's men have been pretty decent lately despite just two points from a possible six. El Jadida shared the spoils against FUS Rabat on the road, making it back-to-back stalemates in the division. It was one of their best displays this season, as they went from (3-1) down to (3-3) against a solid opponent. This was after their (1-1) share of the spoils against RSB Berkane. 

El Jadida have secured nineteen points from a combined thirty-nine, scoring nineteen and conceding nineteen. El Jadida have won two of their last seven games on the road since promotion.

Expert Betting Tips

Ittihad Tanger's inability to strengthen their squad have caused them a major upset this season. They started the league well but have struggled to adapt in recent games. I’m not sure anything can be done about them for now until their FIFA ban is lifted, and I think they’ll continue to struggle. On the other hand, El Jadida have been pretty solid across their last two games, sharing the spoils against tough opponents like FUS Rabat and RSB Berkane.

After watching Ittihad Tanger's last game, I think backing El Jadida's score before the break might be worth the risk. Ittihad Tanger looked unorganised at the back, and I think they’ll have problems defending against their opponent.

Having said that, the guests' defence have been breached many times this campaign, and I think a BTTS will surface here (1.95). 

The guests to win in either half for might be a safe bet here.

Good luck!
