Botola: difficult test for the WAC against OC Safi, IR Tanger heads out to challenge Union Touarga

The 12th matchday of the Botola Pro Inwi D1 opens this Friday with a thrilling duel between Wydad de Casablanca and Olympic de Safi. After their draw (1-1) against their Casablanca rivals, the WAC will look to bounce back by winning at home against OC Safi.



The Reds should, however, approach this match with caution, facing a Safi side known for causing upsets against teams from the economic capital. For this match, the Reds' coach, Rulani Mokwena, welcomes back striker Mouad Aounzou and the team's right winger, Nassim Chadli, both returning from injury. For its part, OC Safi intends to take advantage of this encounter to secure a victory and move away from the relegation zone. The club from the Abda region approaches this match full of confidence after their comprehensive victory (3-0) on the previous matchday against COD Meknès. The IRT is determined to win against Touarga to make up for their defeat against the MAT. Beaten by Moghreb de Tétouan during the Northern derby on the 11th matchday of the Botola D1, IR Tanger is determined to put this setback behind them by winning their away duel against Union Touarga this Friday (6 p.m.), on the occasion of the 12th matchday. With only three wins in 11 matches, the club from the Strait city will be keen to win their match against Touarga to collect points and avoid sliding down the table. An objective shared by the capital club, which has not tasted victory since the 9th matchday against Chabab de Mohammedia.
