Wydad Casablanca vs Simba SC Prediction: We anticipate a halftime victory for the host team

On Saturday, Wydad Casablanca will face off against Simba SC at the Stade Mohamed V Stadium. The Red Castle have lost back-to-back in this competition, and it’ll be disastrous if they fail to win here. 

The three-time African Champions have failed to win any of their last two games, conceding twice without scoring. The opening game ended in a shocking (0-1) defeat on their ground, and it was followed by another loss in Ivory Coast against ASEC Mimosas. 

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 Reds of Msimbazi are definitely going through tough times, and their fans will hope for a new beginning after paying so much for an experienced tactician. They began their journey with a (1-1) share of the spoils on their ground against ASEC Mimosa. The result was followed by a share of the spoils against Galaxy on the road. Simba SC have won twenty-two league titles and five domestic cups, participating in the CAF Champions League multiple times. Regardless of their dominance in the Tanzania League, their best result in the intercontinental competition was a three-time quarter-final finish. 

Both teams have won once in their last two meetings with a goal apiece. Wydad Casablanca have struggled in recent games and head here without a win in two games. They march here with a comeback win in their league against Mouloudia Oujda. On the other hand, Simba SC have drawn their last two games in this competition. They’ll be looking to secure their first three points in the group, but we think it’s an impossible mission as the Red Castle will be all over them tomorrow. Wydad Casablanca will win and score more than a goal here for 1.50.

We expect the home side to win at the break for 1.79.

This game will produce more than two goals for 1.70.

Good luck!
