JS Soualem vs Berkane prediction and betting tips - June 1, 2024
In the final round of the Moroccan Botola Pro, JS Soualem will host Berkane. The match will kick off at 20:00 Central European Time, and the experts at Dailysports have prepared a forecast for this encounter.
JS Soualem
The team is positioned in the lower half of the league table, currently in 13th place with 27 points from 28 matches. Although close to the relegation zone, JS Soualem has a three-point cushion and is not at risk of dropping to Botola 2. The team has scored 27 goals, which is a decent tally for a mid-table side. However, they have conceded 42 goals, one of the worst defensive records in the league, second only to one other team by a single goal. These defensive frailties have contributed to their low position in the standings. In their last five matches, Soualem has one win, two losses, and two draws.
Berkane
Berkane is the third-placed team in the Moroccan Botola Pro, with 49 points after 28 matches. They have secured their position and are four points clear of the fourth-placed team with one game remaining. They cannot challenge for second place as they trail by 17 points. Next season, Berkane will compete in the CAF Confederation Cup. They boast a strong defense, having conceded only 20 goals in 28 matches, the second-best record in the league. Their attack is also potent, with 35 goals, the third-best in the league. This balanced performance has ensured their high league standing and qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup. In their last five matches, Berkane has three wins and two losses.

JS Soualem vs Berkane Prediction
This match holds little motivation for either team, as both have already secured their respective positions. Berkane, with their strong attack, will face a team with a poor defense. I believe the visitors will capitalize on this and score. My bet is on Berkane's individual total over 1 goal with odds of 1.82.
