Manchester City FC vs Wydad Casablanca: Prediction and odds on the Match on 18 June 2025
The defending champions will fight to defend their FIFA Club World Cup title, but this time they’ll face a more stringent competition from top teams across the continent. On Wednesday, Manchester City will face off against Wydad Casablanca at the Lincoln Financial Field.
The Blues are not the team they used to be; they are now beatable and vulnerable at the back. However, they can be extremely dangerous, and they are one of the favorites to lift the trophy. At the same time, Wydad Casablanca will play their third ever FIFA World Club Cup and they’ll seek their first International title. Red Castle have regressed over the years, and they will struggle against the elites in this competition.

Pep Guardiola’s men had one of their worst seasons in a long time after failing to lift a single trophy. Manchester City wrapped up their league campaign in third spot, picking up seventy-one points from their last thirty-eight games. They also conceded forty-five (44) times, making it a worse record than any side that finished in the top four.
Manchester City had a disastrous Champions League campaign, as they were eliminated in the knockout phase. They were overwhelmed by Real Madrid on (6-3) aggregate, losing both home and away.
Pep Guardiola’s men missed the opportunity of winning a trophy last season, following their (1-0) loss against Crystal Palace in the final of the FA Cup. The genesis of their downfall started when Rodri got injured during their game against Arsenal in the Community Shield. The Blues have lost just once in their last thirteen games in all competitions, and they’ll be a force to reckon with in this competition.

Wydad Casablanca: form and statistics
The Red Castle have been pretty dominant in the Moroccan league over the years until the last two seasons. Wydad Casablanca settled for a third place in the Botola Pro League, picking up fifty-four points from a combined ninety. The Moroccan giant also failed to appear in continental football, after finishing up 6th in the season before.
Wydad Casablanca have managed one win across their last four matches in all competitions, scoring twice and conceding five times.
The Red Castle secured a spot in this year’s FIFA Club World Cup due to their consistency in the CAF Champions League over the years.

Pep Guardiola is known as one of the best tacticians in the whole world, and regardless of what they’re going through, they’ll never succumb to pressure or tweak their tactics..

Manchester City FC vs Wydad Casablanca match prediction 18 June 2025
Pep Guardiola’s men seem ready for this season, having acquired three quality players. They’ll be without Kelvin De Bruyne, who signed for Napoli a few days ago, and for the first time in so many years, they’ll be without their sole creator.
Manchester City are a very dangerous team with lots of quality in every area of the pitch. They have added a few qualities this campaign, and they are ready to kick-start their season.
Wydad Casablanca are yet to get themselves together; they have a new coach, and it will take time for them to adapt. They have been inconsistent over the years, and they’re one of the lowest-ranked sides in this competition.
Manchester City are the favourite in this group, and considering the quality of their squad, they are going to torment Wydad Casablanca from the start to the end.
This is a one-sided game, and Pep Guardiola’s men will exert dominance over the Moroccan-based side, who have been pretty terrible in recent games.
Another thing to consider here is to bet on players to score, and one player that’s so certain he’s going to find the back of the net is Erling Haaland.
My match prediction is for Manchester City to score more than one goal before the break, with a coefficient of 1.95 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
My betting tip is for Manchester City to win and score more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.75 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
My final tip for this game is for Erling Haaland to score first, with a coefficient of 2.95 on the Betway bookmaker.
Good luck!
