Al Wahda vs CR Belouizdad Prediction: Both sides need the points

Al Wahda will face CR Belouizdad in the second game of group D in the ongoing Arab Club Champions Cup. While Belouizdad have yet to record a victory, Al Wahda have already taken three points.

After defeating Al Kuwait 2-1 in the opening match of this year's Arab Club Champions Cup, Al Wahda got off to a strong start in the competition. The first goal of the game was scored by Al Mansoori in the 73rd minute, and Pedro added a second goal four minutes later. In the 92nd minute, Al Dhefiri scored a late goal for the Kuwaiti team, giving them a late consolation goal. After this victory, Al Wahda have gone 13 games without suffering a loss in all competitions, and they are currently in first place in group D with 3 points, the same amount as Raja Casablanca, who they will play after their game.

In Belouizdad's open clash of this competition, Hadded Mouad gave them the lead with a fine strike in the 10th minute, but Raja Casablanca equalized in the 58th minute on a penalty kick when Bouzok fired straight to the center of the net, catching the goalkeeper off guard. Belouizdad had a chance to take the lead again, but Wamba missed the penalty they were given. Because of this, Raja won in the 94th minute when Arrasi scored after Belouizdad's goalie made a great save. The goal was initially disallowed because of an offside call, but the VAR review proved to be the decisive factor in Belouizdad's downfall.

As a result of the setback, they will go into this match knowing that they have to do everything in their power to avoid losing in order to have any chance of advancing to the knockout rounds.

Al Wahda's impressive beginning to this competition will most certainly provide them the momentum they need to win this match, and I don't see them ending their unbeaten streak of 13 games against a team like Belouizdad. Both teams are going to play the match with extreme caution, which could result in a contest with few goals scored.
