Meanwhile, Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi, still reeling from a crushing loss to the Meknès club, will be striving to turn their fortunes around, hoping to capitalize on their home ground advantage.
Raja Casablanca will finally make their league debut this season as they take on Nahdat Zemamra, following a postponed match against the Royal Army.

The positive atmosphere surrounding the club is palpable, and fans are optimistic about a strong performance.
The defending champions, Moghreb Fès, also face a formidable challenge as they travel to encounter Hassania Agadir, a team that showcased their prowess in the last round with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Marrakech. Moghreb Fès is determined to continue their impressive run and defend their title from the previous season.
Other notable matches include Wydad Temara, who shocked fans in the last round, facing a confident Ittihad Tawraka, and the Meknès club looking to solidify their strong season opener against Kawkab Marrakech, who are still searching for their form. Lastly, Amal Tiznit will clash with FUS Rabat in a matchup of teams eager to secure three points and establish a foothold in the league.
It’s important to note that the match between the Royal Army and Nahdat Berkane has been postponed due to several military players being called up for national duty.
