Chabab Mila coach Saïd Belaribi views the upcoming cup match against Raed Bougaâ as a crucial evaluation of his team's progress. Belaribi intends to use this fixture to test new tactical approaches ahead of the league season, where the team is aiming to recover from a difficult start. He noted that the opponent, currently in excellent form, represents a stern challenge. Faced with multiple player injuries, the coach plans to rotate his squad to give new players a chance to prove themselves while ensuring the health of his returning starters. The main focus is to restore confidence and sharpen defensive discipline following recent losses that were partly due to a lack of tactical intensity.
