Manchester City vs Wydad Casablanca | GSB Uganda Football Predictions

Manchester City vs Wydad. This one sees Manchester City, the 2023 Club World Cup winners, take on Wydad Casablanca – a team that’s been here twice before but has never managed a win.

Manchester City come into this tournament after a frustrating domestic season. They finished third in the Premier League and didn’t pick up a single trophy – their first trophyless year since Pep Guardiola’s debut campaign in 2016/17. That said, they ended the season strong, losing just once in their final 13 matches (9 wins, 3 draws). With around £100 million spent on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, and Rayan Aït-Nouri, they’re loaded and ready.

Wydad Casablanca also finished third in their league and couldn’t add to their 22 Botola titles. They won their last three league games, but momentum dipped with just one win in four pre-tournament friendlies. Two of those losses came against Porto and Sevilla.

Hot Stats and Streaks

  • Pep Guardiola has four Club World Cups – tied for most all-time.
  • Wydad drew more league games (12) than any other Moroccan team last season.
  • Wydad scored exactly two goals in four of their last five wins.
