Wydad Casablanca vs El Jadida Prediction: The Red Castle will amass their second three points of the campaign

On Saturday, Wydad Casablanca will hope to bounce back following their stalemate on the road when they face off against El Jadida at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium. The home side have won four successive games against the guests, and we expect them to exert dominance over the newly promoted team.

Wydad Casablanca

Rulani Mokwena's men are still trying to find their rhythm as they settled for a share of the spoils against Union Touraga on the road. Wydad Casablanca were tactically outnumbered by the hosts, who scored from the spot-kick before they responded. It was a dominating performance by Wydad Casablanca; unfortunately, they didn’t do anything serious in the final third. 

The Red Castle finished below the top four for the first time since the 2013/2014 season. It was a disappointing campaign for the most successful side in the history of the competition. 

Wydad Casablanca have had a total overhaul over the season, signing Rulani Mokwena from Mamelodi Sundowns. The management has backed the new coach, and he’s acquired players who can quickly adjust to his style of play. 

El Jadida

Jorge Paixao's men have been up and running this season, heading here with a win and a stalemate. More recently, they amassed all the points on the road against Renaissance Zamamra, scoring twice and conceding once. El Jadida have made some top signings in the transfer market, which has been positive lately. 

They have scored three and conceded twice over their last two matches in the division. 

El Jadida are always great against teams below them this season but always struggle against top teams. 

Expert Betting Tips

Wydad Casablanca have won twelve, while El Jadida recorded two wins and six games ending in a draw over their last twenty meetings. The Red Castles were below par against Union Touraga as they were restrained by their opponent. They managed three shots in the entire game and were denied entry into the final third. At the same time, El Jadida have been up and running this season, and they’ll be keen to prove themselves against a top side. 

Wydad Casablanca have arranged a mini-friendly just after their stalemate against Union Touraga. Coach Rulani is starting a fresh team from scratch, and it will take time for them to synergize; however, we expect them to get a goal before the break for 1.75.

The guests have scored three goals already this season and we are confident this encounter won’t be cagey; bet on a total over 2.5 goals for 2.35.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.79.

Good luck!
