Ittihad Tanger vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction: I anticipate an open contest with goals at both ends

Ittihad Tanger will lock horns against Wydad Casablanca in what seems to be a highly competitive contest at the Stade Saniat Rmel Stadium on Saturday. Both teams' coaches are tactically inclined, and I expect nothing but an exciting end-to-end game here. 

Ittihad Tanger (11th)

Last five games: LWLWD

The Hercules head here with a share of the spoils on the road against Maghreb Fes on the road. After their poor start to the game, Ittihad Tanger responded positively in the second half as Bahja scored to cancel out their opponent's early goal. 

Ittihad Tanger have lost twice in their last five games but have never stopped trying. 

Like they have always done in their last two seasons, fortunately for the Hercules, they won’t be fighting to remain in the league this time. Ittihad Tanger have picked up thirty points from a combined seventy-two, scoring twenty-eight and conceding thirty.

The Hercules have won five, lost three, and drawn four games at home this season. 

Wydad Casablanca (3rd)

Last five games: WWDDD

The Red Castles dropped to the third spot on the log after failing to win against FUS Rabat. Wydad Casablanca, who were on the losing end at the break, scored twice in four minutes, and though they had all the points in the bag until FUS Rabat equalized to settle for a (2-2) share of the spoils. It hasn’t been rosy for Wydad Casablanca lately, as they head here with three consecutive stalemates. The Red Castle have secured forty-two points from a combined seventy-two, scoring thirty-six and conceding twenty-three. Wydad Casablanca have won four, drawn six games, and lost twice over their previous twelve away matches.

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg ended in a (2-2) stalemate for Wydad Casablanca on their home turf. Wydad Casablanca have improved lately but are still not at the level required of them. They have one of the best assembled players in Africa but are yet to click as a team. Wydad Casablanca's defense let them down a few days ago, conceding twice against FUS Rabat at home. They’ll face an inconsistent but extremely delicate opponent tomorrow, and it won’t be business as usual. Both coaches are one of the best tactically, and I expect an open encounter tomorrow.

Ittihad Tanger can't be trusted, but I think they’ll likely start well and maybe get a goal before the break. This is my favorite pick as Wydad Casablanca's defense has been below par lately. Since this is an open game, a BTTS will surface here for 2.36 at (Bet365).

I’ll settle for a Wydad Casablanca win or draw and BTTS for 2.75 at (1xbet) as they are the stronger team here.

This game will produce more than two goals as the hosts won’t play defensively against the guests; bet on total over 2.5 goals for 2.23 at (Betway).

Good luck!
