Context last updated 15 Oct 2026, 00:11 · Europe/Bucharest

Round four of the Botola Pro sends unbeaten Touarga to a Meknès side that lost its only home league game, with four draws in the last six meetings keeping the outcome open.

Touarga avoiding defeat or winning narrowly is the likeliest reading, and that draw-or-away-win price at 1.73 and Touarga to win at 3.4 both offer something. A Meknès home win at 2 does not.

Context

Jebali went off with the shoulder problem in the 11 October goalless draw at Wydad AC, a match in which Meknès defended for long spells. Losing him removes a defender from the group that produced that clean sheet, so the home side must adjust its back line for a Union Touarga team that has started the season without a league defeat. Six weeks is an estimate tied to recovery progress rather than a fixed return date, so the medical timeline may still move.
- Idriss Jebali dislocated a shoulder during CODM Meknès's 0-0 draw at Wydad AC on 11 October 2026.
- The absence is estimated at six weeks, with treatment and rehabilitation to follow depending on recovery.

Meknès showed on 26 September what they can do to a defence, scoring six at Difaa El Jadida with four goals before the break. The two league matches since went the other way: a 1-0 home defeat to Kawkab Marrakech on 3 October and a 0-0 draw at Wydad AC on 11 October. The six-goal afternoon is an outlier rather than a settled scoring level, and Touarga have conceded 0.67 goals per game across 15 competitive matches.
- CODM Meknès won 6-2 away at Difaa El Jadida in Botola Pro on 26 September 2026.
- They led 4-0 at half-time and the second half finished 2-2.
Four of the last six meetings finished level, and the most recent one, in June 2026, was a 2-0 Union Touarga win. Both clubs have begun this season hard to score against, with Meknès conceding once at home and Touarga keeping clean sheets, so the draw-heavy history lines up with the current profile. The June result is the counterweight: Touarga have shown they can break the pattern, so the four-draw run should not be read as a guaranteed stalemate.
- Across the last six meetings, CODM Meknès won one, Union Touarga won one and four were drawn.
- The most recent meeting, on 17 June 2026, ended 2-0 to Union Touarga.

Both clubs are listed with 4-2-3-1 probable XIs, CODM under Jorge Manuel da Silva Paixão dos Santos and Union Touarga under Guglielmo Arena. Matching shapes can congest the middle third, which matters for a fixture between two teams that have leaked few goals early in the season. Probable XIs are projections rather than team sheets, so the actual personnel and any late switch may differ.
- CODM Meknès are listed with a probable 4-2-3-1 under coach Jorge Manuel da Silva Paixão dos Santos.
- Union Touarga are listed with a probable 4-2-3-1 under coach Guglielmo Arena.
