With five games left in the league, FAR Rabat boss Nasreddine Nabi believes his side now has a slightly better chance of winning the Botola Pro title than Josef Zinnbauer's Raja Club Athletic.

Zinnbauer's Green Eagles are currently in the midst of a tremendous unbeaten run in Morocco's top division, having won 16 matches and drawn nine so far this season.
After finishing fifth last season, the north African giants have turned their fortunes around under the German's stewardship in this campaign as they look to lift the league title for the first time since 2019/20.
Despite their phenomenal unbeaten record, though, Raja are still in second position behind reigning champions FAR, who parted ways with Mohammed Aziz Samadi at the end of last season, with new boss Nabi having helped maintain their position at the top of the log.
This past weekend, FAR took a major step towards retaining their championship after they won away at record Botola champions Wydad Athletic Club 1-0 courtesy of a goal from captain Mohamed Rabie Hrimat.
After the game, their Tunisian manager Nabi revealed that he thought the victory gives his side a narrow advantage in the title run.
"The percentage of the Royal Army winning the championship is 55%, compared to 45% for Raja,” he said, as per Le Site Info Sport.

Raja, however, are only four points behind their rivals as they also managed to get three points away from home with a 2-0 win over Chabab Mohammedia on Sunday.
