As the Botola Pro D1 "Inwi" football league enters its final stretch with the 24th and 25th matchdays, the race for the title and for survival is more than ever underway between teams with, until now, opposite destinies. Decisive matches are scheduled during these two Ramadan matchdays.
RSB-MAT... For the title, for survival!
Comfortably installed in the leader's chair, which it has not given up for a long time, Renaissance de Berkane will travel to Moghreb de Tétouan... Two teams with diametrically opposite goals.
While Mouine Chaabani's men aspire to clinch the ultimate prize, days before the end of the current season, the MAT, which is sinking to the bottom of the table (second to last), is looking to escape the red zone and save a season to "relegate to oblivion".
The pursuers, Africa in their sights
At the top of the table, AS FAR, 4th alongside FUS de Rabat, will travel to Renaissance Zemamra (3rd). Both teams, which shared the runner-up position, have been overtaken by Wydad de Casablanca.
Indeed, Rulani Mokwena's protégés, who remain on a relatively upward dynamic during the second half of the season, will play for everything to reduce the gap with the Berkane side or, at a minimum and most likely, maintain the second place qualifying for the Champions League.
They will cross paths with the Fussistes of Said Chiba who dominated the RCAZ (3-0) during the 23rd matchday.
The 25th matchday: Time for the coronation?
The 25th matchday could be the one for the coronation of the RSB, which will host Union Touarga. Indeed, the Oriental team will clinch the first championship title in its history if it wins its next two matches (24th and 25th matchdays), regardless of the results of its immediate pursuers.
As for the other teams at the top of the table, the WAC will travel to Ittihad de Tanger, AS FAR will host Maghreb de Fès, while FUS de Rabat will play at home against JS Soualem.
As for the RCAZ, which is having a very good season, it will stop in Safi to face the OCS.
