We can take a look at the X-men arc. You can argue that both sides are "good". They are both trying to achieve the same thing... freedom for mutants to live happily in the world. The difference? One side wanted to co-exist with non-mutants while the other side wanted to kill off all non-mutants. This difference of values causes 2 best friends (professor X and Magneto) to rival and go at each other. The reader though, is left with siding with professor X due to this difference in values even though you can empathize with Magneto's point of view.
As the opening line in the "Sith Creed" from Star Wars goes:
Peace is a lie, There is only passion.
As long as people are passionate about about their ideals that conflict other ideals, there is always going to be conflict. Each side is the "good side" from their relative point of view. You don't need to make someone evil to be a conflicting side, but ultimately one side will be the "bad" side based on the ideals they chose.
A lot of time in Anime, they play around with the idea of having 2 good sides conflict with each other. You as the watcher are thinking... why are these 2 fighting... they both want the same thing and are fighting for the same thing. All it takes is a slight misunderstanding. Someone being in the wrong spot at the wrong time (aka at the scene of a murder hovered over the body of a dead friend as the other friend walks in on the scene) and then that person becomes hated due to circumstance.
This is definitely feasible to do and ultimately one of the easiest ways is to give them both the same end goals but with differing ideals/values/process to achieve. This then would cause conflict between 2 "good" sides without 1 being evil but have both sides hate each other because they think each other's way is not right.
