Raja and Wydad face each other this Sunday for the Casablanca derby. The two rivals, leaders tied now, want to come off during this 10 th day. Wydad appear to be in better shape with four straight league wins.

On Sunday, all eyes will be on the Casablanca derby, one of the hottest in Africa and even on the planet, according to some specialized sites. Raja faces, indeed, his eternal rival in what will be the 129 th derby of the Moroccan economic capital. Current leaders tied after nine days – the WAC still has one game less, the two teams will try to widen a first small gap since the start of the season.

The WAC appears to be in Olympic form. Qualified in the quarterfinals in the final of the   CAF Champions League after three successes and a draw, the red and white have just achieved 4 victories in Botola Pro D1. Rajaoui side, the series remains less impressive, but the team remains the only unbeaten in the championship. She has also just signed two CAF Cup successes.

El Kaabi vs Rahimi

The Wydadis start slightly favorites and will have to send a message to the competition for the reconquest of the title lost last year for the benefit of… Raja. In the last ten derbies in the league, however, the WAC has not been brilliant. He only has two wins – the last one more than two years ago – against three for the Greens. But this time, the reds will count on their striker Ayoub El Kaâbi, very visible lately. With Muaid Ellafi and Tanzanian Simon Msuva, the three attackers have totaled 18 goals since the start of the season, including 11 in the league.

Rajaoui side, the Congolese Ben Malango and especially Soufiane Rahimi, best player and scorer of last season, also shine with 10 goals between them both in Botola. The duo improves with the metronome Abdelillah Hafidi, still inspired (2 goals and 4 assists). The coach, Jamal Sellami, who has suffered some criticism since the start of the season, will also be able to bet on the return of Maestro Mohsine Metouali.

In any case, there will be a match in the match between Rahimi and El Kaâbi, called up by Vahid Halilhodzic to face Mauritania and Burundi as part of the CAN 2022 qualifiers. The two attackers will be eagerly awaited after carrying the Lions of the ‘Atlas A’ during the last CHAN.

For this 10 th day of beautiful posters will be programmed with the particular meeting that will pit the Olympic Safi, surprising 3 th at the Renaissance Berkane (8 th ) in trouble. The “Kings of the East”, who have just appointed Pedro Benali, at the head of the team after the departure of Tarek Sektioui, will try to move up the rankings. As for AS FAR, it will challenge the Ittihad of Tangier in the clash of the 4th.
