JS Soualem vs Ittihad Tanger Prediction: We expect goals in this evenly contested fixture

After a long break, Botola Pro League resumes action as JS Soualem kick off the second leg of the season against Ittihad Tanger at the El Bachir Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts head here with a comfortable victory over Youssoufia Berrechid, while the visitors are without a win in eleven games. 

JS Soualem (14th)

Last five games: WLDLW

After three games without a breakthrough, JS Soualem march here with a convincing (3-1) win over an uninspiring Youssoufia Berrechid on their ground. The result came after their defeat against RSB Berkane on the road. 

JS Soulem have been slightly above average this season, and they sit in the 14th spot, having picked up fifteen points from a possible forty-five. JS Soualem have lost twice, drawn three, and won three on their ground this season.

Ittihad Tanger (15th)

Last five games: DDLDL

With a victory since the start of the season, the Hercules have been underwhelming since this campaign began. 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 with the aim of surviving relegation. The Hercules acquired a new tactician, Hilal Al-Tayr, whose duty is to ensure Ittihad Tanger escape relegation. 

Ittihad Tanger nosedived to the 15th spot on the log, picking up nine points from a combined forty-five.

The Hercules have drawn twice and lost four games on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous five meetings, Ittihad Tanger have won twice while JS Soualem have recorded three victories. Ittihad Tanger always perform well in the second half of the season, and against a JS Soualem side, who have had a decent run on their ground, we think it’ll be difficult for the visitors here. Ittihad Tanger's new coach will be keen to prove a point in this highly anticipated encounter, and I think they'll likely get a goal or two. Both sides will express themselves and get a goal or two; bet on BTTS for 1.91.

We expect a halftime draw here for 1.86.

This game should be able to produce more than two goals for 2.25.

Good luck!
