Wydad Casablanca vs FUS Rabat Prediction: This even game will end in a share of the spoils

On Thursday, Wydad Casablanca will clash with FUS Rabat at the Stade Mohamed V Stadium. The Red Castle had an unsatisfactory season after missing out on the CAF Champions League trophy, the Botola Pro League, and the FIFA World Club Cup. On the other hand, the visitors will strive to upset the home side after their remarkable win in the CAF Confederation Cup qualifier.

After losing their CAF Champions League Cup to Al Ahly in the final, Wydad Casablanca also failed to retain the league. The Red Castle were doing perfectly well until the final as they were also outmuscled by AS FAR Rabat in the league. Wydad Casablanca were unable to impress in the ARAB CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP CUP, losing once while sharing the spoils twice.

Wydad Casablanca's new coach will lead them into the new season and we hope they at least win a major trophy at the end of this campaign.

Fath Union Sport Football Club finished in third spot for the first time since they won the Morocco Botola Pro League in 2016. FUS Rabat picked up fifty-five points from a possible ninety and ended up being the best defensive team in the division. To prepare for this first African duel of the season, Fath played a friendly exhibition at the start of the week against its neighbour AS FAR, a match that ended in a draw (2-2).

FUS Rabat have always maintained their standard in the division, and with the same coach and some familiar faces, they’ll have a great season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Wydad Casablanca have won eight while FUS Rabat recorded seven victories and five games ending in a share of the spoils. Wydad Casablanca head here without a major striker after selling Bouly Junior Sambia to Al Riyadh. They had an average performance in the just concluded Arab Championship Cup. On the other hand, FUS Rabat head into this season with the same players and coach. They defeated Loto Poto of Benin in their CAF Confederation Cup qualifier on (0-5) aggregate. Both sides have tested themselves since the season began and we expect an even encounter here.

Their last three games have ended in a share of the spoils and we expect both sides to be pleased with a point apiece for 2.72.

Wydad Casablanca have struggled against FUS Rabat even during their best seasons and we can’t see them defeating FUS Rabat here; bet on halftime draw for 1.79.

We expect a total of under 1.5 goals for 2.70 here.

Good luck!
