The Moroccan championship, also known as the Botola Pro League, will see its tenth round kick off on Wednesday, but on this page, we’ll focus on the showdown between RS Berkane and Olympic Safi, scheduled for December 7, 2023, at 12:00 pm (ET), at the Municipal Stadium of Berkane. Our betting tip will be based on odds that we believe hold value for the bookmakers.

Olympic Safi
Olympic Safi faces a tough challenge as they take on the third-placed team, Berkane, and do so as the away side. Safi currently sits in the tenth position in the standings with 12 points.

In the early stages of the 2023/24 season, Olympic Safi has recorded 2 wins, 6 draws, and 1 loss. The team’s statistics for both defense and attack aren’t particularly conducive to expecting many goals, with averages of 0.89 goals scored and 0.78 goals conceded per game. Safi has scored a total of 8 goals and conceded 7.

Berkane vs Safi: Predictions and Betting Tips
Analyzing the odds in the betting market, it’s challenging to envision anything other than the home team being the favorites. Berkane enters the match with odds priced at -164 to win at bet365 sportsbook, offering value for the third-placed team in the Moroccan championship. Olympic Safi, as the underdog, has odds priced at +425 moneyline.
Given the relatively low liquidity in recreational betting markets for these games, examining a key goal line for this match, Over 2.5 has odds at +170, while Under is priced at -227. Only 39% of Botola Pro A games in the first 10 rounds featured Over 2.5 goals. Despite the enticing odds for Over, it may not be the wisest choice, and the odds for Under are too low to consider. The only bet that seems viable for this match is on Berkane to win, despite their recent string of draws. An odds price of -182 would be fair, and considering the opportunity for Berkane to match the points of the top two teams, it appears to be a gift for their fans.
Considering their strong performances in both national and continental competitions, take Berkane moneyline with odds priced at -164 (bet365).
