Al Ahly vs Wydad Casablanca CAF Champions League Finals Predictions
Against the expectations of many soccer fans in Africa, Al Ahly of Egypt has yet again made a strong statement in Africa’s football scene. They have another chance to set yet another unbeatable record in the CAF Champions League in this final game against Wydad Casablanca of Morocco. Our best two predictions for the much-awaited fixture are:
Draw at half-time 83/100 (1.83)
The CAF Champions League final will be a tough encounter between Egyptian club, Al Ahly, and Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca. This match is important for both sides and given that these teams have won the crown previously, we expect a tough game. We expect a defensive approach from the onset with no breakthrough at the interval.
Al Ahly to win or draw @ 1/2 (1.50)
Al Ahly is our pick to win the duel. They are the defending champions. And while the choice of the venue for this final game does not favour the Al Ahly since the game will be played in Morocco, Al Ahly is not a team to just wish away. Al Ahly is a highly defensive team and we expect them to strike when it matters. A double chance in favour of Al Ahly is our pick.

Al Ahly vs Wydad Casablanca Match CAF Champions League Preview
Ah Ahly won the CAF Champions League crown last season. The Egyptian club is yet again battling for another honour in a fixture against Moroccan side, Wydad Casablanca. Al Ahly is not only the defending champions but also have the most titles (10) in the competition. On the other hand, Wydad has 2 CAF Champions League crowns. The Moroccan club last won the trophy in 2017, 25 years after bagging the crown for the first time in 1992. Moreover, Wydad has been twice runner up in the competition, in 2011 and 2019.
The big question ahead of this highly anticipated game is will Al Ahly win the crown for the third time in a row? The Egyptian club won the CAF Champions League trophy in 2020, 2021 and hopes to make it three victories in a row. Such a feat will undoubtedly make them the best ever African club. Moreover, Al Ahly has been the runners up four times in this competition.
These teams have met 8 times since 2016 during which the Egyptian Club bagged four victories, two draws and two losses. That means the Moroccan side, Wydad Casablanca, has defeated Al Ahly only twice, lost four times and settled for the spoils twice.
The last two duels were won by Al Ahly, one of which was a clean sheet win of 2-0 on the road and lately a 3-1 victory on home soil in Cairo. Based on these teams, we predict a difficult duel where the defending Champions Al Ahly will put in a shift to defend the crown, even though that will take a lot of organization right from onset. Al Ahly has a great history in this competitions, so betting against them is risk.
Let’s now see how these teams are likely to lineup for this fixture.
Al Ahly predicted lineup: El-Shenawy, Rabia, Hany, Maaloul, Foaud, Taher, Afsha, Nabil, El Shahat, Sherif and Mohsen.
Wydad Casablanca predicted lineup: Tagnaouti, Dari, Rahim, Farhane, Allah, Benyachou, Daoudi, Jebranem Jaadi, Aouk and Mbenza.
