Wydad Casablanca vs Al-Ain Preview and Team News

Wydad Casablanca Team News

Wydad AC are winless in their opening two matches in Group G of their FIFA Club World Cup campaign. They’ve conceded six times and scored just once in the process.

Drawn in the same group as the English Premier League’s Man City and Serie A giants Juventus, Wydad AC lost their opening game against ten-man Manchester 2-0 before going down 4-1 against Juve last time out.

Manager Amine Benhachem understands that Juventus and Manchester City have already qualified for the next round, having collected six points each. The focus for Wydad AC will be to summon a robust performance to end the tournament on a high.

Their efforts will be bolstered without any reported injury woes or suspensions ahead of Thursday’s clash against Al-Ain. 

Wydad Casablanca predicted lineup vs Al-Ain (5-4-1): Benabid; Moufid, Meijers, Boutouil, de Oliveira, Moufi; Lorch, Moubarik, Zemraoui, Amrabat; Obeng.

Al-Ain Team News

Al-Ain sit below Wydad Casablanca in Group G after the opening two rounds at the FIFA CWC. They’ve lost both their matches, conceding 11 balls and scoring none in the process.

The lack of goals in the final third is a source of headache for manager, Vladimir Ivić. Having played and lost against Juventus (5-0) and Man City (6-0), Ivić has seen his side fail to trouble these established European clubs.

Ahead of their dead rubber clash against Wydad AC, Ivić will have the full complement of his squad available for selection. Fitness news from the Al Ain camp indicates no new injuries or suspensions will affect the team on Thursday.

The focus for Al Ain will be getting on the score sheet and ensuring they don’t finish the competition without scoring a single goal. Coming up against fellow underperforming Wydad, they will be confident of breaking their duck. 

Al-Ain predicted lineup vs Wydad Casablanca (5-4-1): Eisa; Zabala, Rabia, Park, Niang, Jasic; Baloushi, Traore, Nader, Chadli; Rahimi.

Wydad Casablanca vs Al-Ain Prediction 

• Pick: A Draw
• Odds: 3.6 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Wydad Casablanca 1-1 Al-Ain

Wydad Casablanca and Al Ain have underperformed at the FIFA Club World Cup. There is a solitary goal between them in their respective opening matches, and they’ve collectively conceded 17 goals. These statistics show their weaknesses at the back and in attack.

Ahead of Thursday, both sides will look to get their first points on board, even though they are already eliminated from the tournament.

With pride in the table, there’s an expectation that the squads, who both field with a 5-4-1 formation, will employ fluid approaches with attacking intent. With nothing to lose, the players could be unencumbered to initiate more attacking patterns, making for an interesting score draw.

Wydad Casablanca vs Al-Ain Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Each Team Will Score Under 1.5 – Yes
• Odds: 2.75 (22Bet)

These clubs’ records at the FIFA CWC suggest their clash on Thursday is probably going to be a low-scoring one.

Wydad AC and Al Ain both with a five-man defensive approach and a four-man midfield. The number of bodies at the back and the pragmatic method adopted by both sides mean we are unlikely to witness many goals.

However, their respective defensive weaknesses mean that they are both likely to get on the scoresheet. Therefore, their tactical inclination to be compact, coupled with their defensive weaknesses, backs the call for each team scoring below 1.5.
