Kawkab Athletic Club Marrakech come into this one unbeaten in six league matches, but that run has been built mostly on draws rather than separation from opponents. Four of those six have finished level, and even their 2-1 win over Hassania d'Agadir was tight enough to reflect their modest scoring output this season. At home they have been harder to beat, with only one league defeat and just five goals conceded across six matches, which is the kind of record that keeps a double-chance angle alive.
AS FAR Rabat arrive without a league defeat all season, and that alone gives X2 real weight. They have taken points on the road in all six away league games, with three wins and three draws, while allowing only two away goals in that spell. Their recent league trips have also been controlled rather than wild, including a 0-0 at Renaissance Zemamra and a 2-1 win at Wydad Casablanca, which fits a side comfortable avoiding defeat first and foremost.
There is still some room for a draw in the picture, especially with Kawkab’s recent habit of collecting stalemates and the head-to-head history including a goalless meeting and a 0-0 in Marrakech. AS FAR’s attack has been productive, but the projected 1.0 away xG is not a huge margin over Kawkab’s 0.8, so this is not a case for expecting a straightforward away walk. That said, the visitors’ unbeaten league run and strong away split give them the edge in any avoidance-of-defeat market.
Kawkab’s home record does suggest they can keep this competitive, yet AS FAR have shown the more reliable profile for not losing. The away side have gone six league matches on the road without defeat, and Kawkab have drawn four of their last six league games, so the main threat to X2 is another shared result rather than a home upset. With AS FAR conceding only two away league goals and Kawkab scoring just 13 in 14 league matches overall, the draw-or-away lean still looks justified.
My prediction is Double Chance X2 at 1/8. AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten in 12 matches overall and unbeaten away in six league games, with three wins and three draws on their travels. Kawkab Athletic Club Marrakech have drawn four of their last six league matches, and their modest scoring record makes it hard to argue for a clear home win. Even with the 1-1 projection in mind, the visitors’ clean away profile keeps X2 as the stronger play.
