Wydad Casablanca vs JS Soualem Prediction: The Red Castle must win and score more than enough

On Tuesday, Wydad Casablanca will match up against Raidi Salmi at the Stade Mohamed V Stadium. The Red Castle's mission here is to win and score more than enough while the visitors have nothing else to play for this season.

Last five games: WDWDW

The Red Castle failed to close the gap at the top of the standings when they were held to a toothless stalemate against Hassania Agadir on the road. After the game, they obtained all the points against a strong Olympique Safi. The visitors struck first just four minutes into the game, while Wydad Casablanca responded three times to secure the maximum points. Despite the victory, the implication is that they must now score more in their next two fixtures and pray AS FAR Rabat loses once. It seems pretty impossible to me, and I believe the Red Castle will go trophyless this season.

Wydad Casablanca have been up and running since the appointment of their Netherlands coach and are yet to taste defeat in the league. Wydad Casablanca are three points behind AS FAR Rabat at the top of the log. Wydad Casablanca have won ten, drawn three, and lost once at home this season.

Last five games; DLLWL

After their (1-2) victory against Moghreb Tetouan, JS Soualem stumbled upon a home defeat at the hand of Hassania Agadir. The visitors were simply the better side, as they scored three times, while JS Soualem were able to respond once. JS Soualem are about to lose all the points they gathered at the beginning of the season; they have won once and lost three while sharing the spoils twice in recent weeks. The visitors are out of the top-four race with a victory over their previous six games. JS Soualem are the fourth-best away team in the division; they have won six, drawn four, and lost four.

Over their last three games, Wydad have won every single game against JS Soulem, scoring eight while conceding three. Despite their recent woes, JS Soualem can be very difficult on the road, and Wydad must be careful against them. The title race could be decided by goals this season, and that’s why Wydad didn’t just need a win here but also score as many goals as they could. We expect to see Wydad win before the break here for 1.80.

JS Soualem have nothing else to play for this season as they’ve escaped relegation and are not in for a top-four finish. We expect to see more than two goals here for 1.90.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.03.

Good luck!
