Wydad Casablanca vs Olympique Safi Prediction: The Red Castle must win to stand a chance of retaining the title

After failing to retain the CAF Championship, Wydad Casablanca can’t afford to miss out on the Botola Pro title and must win big against Olympique Safi at the Stade Mohamed V Stadium on Saturday.

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. For a long time, Wydad Casablanca failed to have a shot on target in a game. Wydad Casablanca had more of the balls but looked depleted and unable to convert any of their chances. The implication is that they must score more in their next three 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 away from catching up with AS FAR Rabat at the top of the log. Wydad Casablanca have won nine, drawn three, and lost once at home this season.

The visitors are gradually losing their grip on fourth place after their recent woes. Olympique Safi surrendered to their second defeat at home in a WWW-like encounter against FUS Rabat. The visitors were shown two red cards, while Olympique Safi were reduced to ten men just before the break. Olympique Safi surged forward, looking to take advantage of nine men FUS Rabat; however, the visitors drew the first blood in the 83rd minute. It was an unexpected result for the home side, which underrated the nine men FUS Rabat. Despite the loss, Olympique maintained their spot on the log but must take the maximum points to retain it. Olympique Safi have scored twenty-nine times and conceded twenty-five goals this season. Olympique Safi have won six, drawn three, and lost four away from home this season.

In their last twenty meetings, Wydad Casablanca have won twelve while Olympique Safi have recorded four victories and four games ending in a share of the spoils. Wydad Casablanca looked so different in their most recent match and must find motivation to win here. It’s obvious they are still not over their final defeat against Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League. The visitors can be deadly on the road, and after their recent home defeat, Olympique Safi will strive to bounce back. Regardless of how the visitors intend to approach the game, we still expect the home side to come strong and secure all the points for 1.47.

We are expecting an open game here, with both sides getting a goal apiece for 2.75.

Wydad Casablanca won’t hold back at halftime; bet on a home halftime win for 2.20.

Good luck!
