Al Hilal vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction: This is the end of the road for the Red Castle

Al Hilal will have to obtain all the points against one of the best sides in Africas at the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Sports City on Wednesday. Both sides have played twice in this competition without a breakthrough; however, we expect a winner must emerge here.

The two-time Arab Club Championship Cup winners began their campaign with a toothless draw against Al Ahli Tripoli. The Libyan side were strong defensively and also great with counterattacks. The result was followed by a humiliating defeat against Qatar side Al Sadd. After a share of the spoils before the break, the second half witnessed three goals as Al Sadd ran off with the maximum point in a (2-3) victory.

Al Hilal have made some significant changes to their squad, adding Ruben Neves, Milankovic Savic, and Koulibaly, to mention a few, to their team. However, they must still strengthen their defense and add some depth in front of goals.

After a solid defensive performance in the opening game against Al Sadd, Wydad Casablanca shared the spoils with Al Ahly Tripoli. The Red Castle, who had a terrible season in the just concluded Moroccan League, have been below par in this tournament. Against Al Ahli Tripoli, they played like nothing was at stake, even though they scored first.

The one-time Arab Club Champions winners have struggled to score in their last three games, although they have been solid at the back. Wydad will come for a point, as usual, while looking for a way to counter the home side.

Their last two meetings ended in a win for Al Hilal (friendly) while sharing the spoils in the FIFA World Club Cup of late. Al Hilal's squad are crying for a striker following their last two games, even though they scored twice against Al Sadd. Wydad, on the other hand, have not been able to get it right in front of goals. They sat back against Al Sadd and almost did the same against Al Ahly Tripoli. With three points at stake here, we feel Al Hilal will be too strong for the Red Castle but are expected to settle for a halftime draw for 2.05.

We also think both sides will get a goal apiece here for 1.99.

Regardless of how Wydad Casablanca plan to defend, Al Hilal are expected to suffer them; bet on a home win and under 2.5 goals for 2.50.

Good luck!
