Wydad Casablanca vs Ittihad Tanger Prediction: The Red Castle will avoid defeat against the Hercules

The Red Castle will hope to build on their recent away win to secure the maximum points when they lock horns against Ittihad Tanger at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are in dire straits at the moment following their recent defeats and can’t afford to drop points on their home turf. 

Wydad Casablanca (4th)

Last five games: DWLLW

The Red Castle returned to winning ways, scoring once against a solid FUS Rabat to cart away the maximum points. Rulani Mokwena inspired his comrades to one of their best displays in the league this season, as Cassius Mailula scored the only goal that ensured they left FUS Rabat stadium with all the points. It was a decent all-round performance from Wydad Casablanca. 

Before then, they suffered a shocking defeat against the newly promoted CODM Meknes on the road, conceding two penalties in a single game while missing a spot-kick and losing (0-1) against RSB Berkane at home. 

Wydad Casablanca have picked up fourteen points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring eleven and conceding nine. 

Ittihad Tanger (8th)

Last five games: DWLLD

The Hercules are back to default settings after their decent start to the season. Ittihad Tanger failed to protect their lead before the break as Maghreb Fes levelled in the 80th minute. It has been from bad to worse for Ittihad Tanger, who have now failed to win any of their last three league games. Ittihad Tanger have conceded eight and scored ten over their previous nine matches. 

Ittihad Tanger have been up and running this campaign despite their recent woes. Ittihad Tanger have been ruthless in their approach this season, and if they sustain such an attitude, they might secure a top-four spot. They have lost once on the road since the league began.
