Wydad Casablanca vs Al Hilal Saudi Prediction: Expect goals in this encounter

CAF Champions League winners will lock horns with Asian Champions League holder Al Hilal at the Complexe Sportif Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Morocco on Saturday. Al Hilal are the most successful side in the AFC champions league. At the same time, Wydad Casablanca secured the ticket to this tournament after defeating Al Ahly in the final of the CAF title.

The Red Castle are holders of the CAF Champions League title after overthrowing Al Ahly last season in a (2-0) victory the previous year. Wydad Casablanca head here for the second time, with their best result being a sixth-place finish. In Abu Dhabi five years ago, Wydad were dumped out at this stage by Pachuca before also losing to Urawa Red Diamonds in the now-defunct fifth-place play-off.

Wydad Casablanca have started the Botola Pro League poorly this season, picking up thirty points from a possible forty-eight and sitting in the second spot.

The Red Castle will face a Saudi Arabian side for the first time tomorrow, and we hope they go far this time.

The Blue Waves head into this tournament for the third time, with their best result being a fourth-place finish. After their two points lead above Al Ittihad, they were crowned the Saudi Arabian champions.

Al Hilal won the AFC Champions League title in 2021 and have been picked to represent the Asian side since the tournament is still ongoing.

The Blue Waves are a regular face in the competition, with their most recent result being a slim (1-0) defeat against Chelsea. They have a mixture of top players with notable names like Odion Ighalo and former Porto player Marega.

Wydad Casablanca haven’t been themselves since the commencement of this season and have produced some poor results in recent games. In comparison, Al Hilal has enough experience and firepower to compete here. One thing to also consider is that this tournament will be played in Morocco, which gives the home side a slight edge here; bet on BTTS for 1.95.

Wydad Casablanca will be careful not to disappoint their own fans, and that’s why we are backing them with a win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.30.

We expect this game to be an open encounter with lots of goal-scoring opportunities; bet on over 2.5 goals for 2.30.

Good luck!
