Jwaneng Galaxy vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction: We expect the visitors to avenge their opening-day defeat against the hosts

Jwaneng Galaxy will face off against Wydad Casablanca at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium on Saturday. The Red Castle have everything to play for here after their disappointing performance against the hosts in the opening game, and they’ll be out to avenge the defeat, even though it’ll come with a price.

Since their opening day victory over Wydad Casablanca, Galaxy FC have drawn once and lost twice, both on their home turf. Galaxy FC have picked up four points from a combined twelve and are presented with another opportunity to rewrite their mistakes. Jwaneng Galaxy have been impressive in their league this season with twelve wins in fourteen matches but have not replicated such a run in this tournament. 

Jwaneng Galaxy have lost once and drawn a game in their last two games. 

Last four games: LLWL

The three-time African Champions have failed to manage just one win in their last four matches. Wydad Casablanca have not been themselves since this season began, and this competition is their only hope of laying their hands on silverware. They have picked up three points from a combined twelve, scoring once and conceding four. 

Wydad Casablanca have won the CAF Champions League three times and are runner-up three times, finishing in the semi-final three times and being a quarterfinalist twice. They come into this tournament on the back of a (2-0) defeat in the AFL CUP against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The reverse leg ended in a shocking (0-1) victory for Galaxy against Wydad Casablanca in Morocco. However, the home side have not won any game since then, as they occupy the third spot on the log. Wydad Casablanca have signed some serious players who have improved the team lately, and they’ll be determined to prove their worth here. On the other hand, Jwaneng Galaxy doesn’t have enough quality to go toe-to-toe with the visitors, and they’ll be constrained to defend more. We expect the visitors to avenge the opening-day defeat in Morocco; bet on an away win for 1.79.

We expect the visitors to get a halftime victory here for 2.50.

This game will end in more than two goals for 2.70.

Good luck!
