Football Bet of the Day: Don't be a fan of Berkane

Visitors to slip up again

Khouribga v Berkane
Saturday August 22, 20:00

Our boys Breidablik got the win we wanted in Iceland last night, but it wasn't as lively a victory as we required, so we're back to square one when it comes to this week.

We'll head to warmer climes now, because the Moroccan Botola Pro league continues apace, and title-chasing Berkane are making the trip to face Khouribga tonight. Berkane are priced at evens to pick up a precious win, and I believe that price is too short.

Either side of lockdown, Berkane have been feeling the pressure. They have won just two of their last 11 games in the league, and on the road their form is plain bizarre. They have played out four straight goalless draws on the road, a sequence that followed a 5-0 hammering at Renaissance Zemamra. They have only won four of their last 24 road matches at this level.

Khouribga have lost both league games since the restart, but both of those were on the road, and their home form is a lot more respectable. They have gone five games unbeaten at the Stade du Phosphate (I'm not kidding, that's really the name of their ground) and they have only lost three of their last 20 games on home soil at this level.

I'll lay the visitors here at evens.
