Wydad vs Al Ain prediction: Wydad to beat the Emiratis
Key stats
- Wydad are winless in their previous five matches in FIFA competitions (D1, L4).
- Al Ain are one of the three teams this CWC yet to find the back of the net.
- The two sides have scored just one goal between them this tournament.
Correct score prediction: Wydad 2-1 Al Ain
Thembinkosi Lorch’s historic first half strike – a Moroccan club's first goal against European opposition since 2000 – briefly ignited Wydad's hopes against Juventus, only for the Bianconeri to crush their dreams with a ruthless second-half display.
Now, Amine Benhachem’s men face similarly-eliminated Al Ain in a battle of wounded pride at Audi Field. Having shipped 11 goals, Al Ain are clearly in need of firepower in this matchup. This should set up what should be a tense, close call where the Moroccans' slightly sharper edge might just prevail in a tight contest.
