Maghreb Fes vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction: The Red Castle won’t hold back at halftime in a must-win encounter

Maghreb Fes will square off against a desperate Wydad Casablanca at the Complexe Sportif de Fes Stadium on Friday. The Red Castle are in deep water and must amass all the points here to stand a chance of producing a last minute in the title race.

Maghreb Fes (10th)

Last five games: DDLLL

After the great start to the season, Maghreb Fes have struggled in recent games and have failed to score in their last four matches. Maghreb Fes have lost three and drawn two over their previous five fixtures. Maghreb Fes almost lost all the points they garnered at the beginning of the season.

Maghreb Fes lost against Hasaania recently, having been reduced to nine men. The home side struck three times, even to pour salt on their injuries. Maghreb have drawn the joint second most games (13) and have conceded thirty-one times this season.

Maghreb Fes have won five, drawn six, and lost three at home this season.

Wydad Casablanca (2nd)

Last five games: DWDWW

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. Wydad Casablanca quickly adjusted with back-to-back victories over Olympique Safi and JS Saouelm. Despite the win, the implication is that they must now score more in their next here and pray AS FAR Rabat loses. 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 a point behind AS FAR Rabat at the top of the log. Wydad Casablanca have won seven, drawn six, and lost once away from home this season.

Expert Betting Tips

In their last nineteen meetings, Wydad Casablanca have won six while Maghreb Fes have recorded three victories and ten games ending in a draw. Wydad Casablanca were given a lifeline when AS FAR Rabat drew against Raja Casablanca. It’s still not in their hands, as even a victory here could still stop them from winning the title if AS FAR Rabat defeat Ittihad Tanger. Maghreb Fes lost two key players in their most recent encounter and lack motivation for this game. We believe the Red Castle will get a halftime win here for 1.80.

Wydad Casablanca are the favourite here; we expect them to win and score more than once for 1.78.

This encounter will witness more than two goals for 2.20.

Good luck!
