Manchester City vs Wydad AC – Betting Preview

It’s almost time for the FIFA Club World Cup and this year, the competition has taken on an entirely new format. We’ll be seeing 32 clubs from six different confederations come together in manner that will determine who the best team in world football truly is. Some hate the new style of doing this and others love it, but regardless of which camp you fall into, there’s no denying that this fills the void created by a lack of men’s international football this summer.

The manner in which teams were able to qualify also caused some controversy, but what we do know is this: some of the biggest players and biggest teams in the game will head to the United States in an attempt to write their name into the history books. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what promises to be an intriguing clash between Manchester City and Wydad AC.

Manchester City aren’t exactly in a great spot right now. They lost the FA Cup final, they lost the Premier League title, and they were only just about able to hold on to a Champions League spot. Pep Guardiola knows what it takes to bounce back from setbacks like this and we’re confident he’ll do so, but we’re also interested to see how he approaches a competition like this.

The great thing about the expansion of the Club World Cup is that it means we’ll be exposed to clubs that many otherwise wouldn’t have been aware of. One such example of that would be Wydad AC who, for a long time now, have been viewed as one of the best teams in Morocco – capped off by the fact that they are former winners of the CAF Champions League.

So whether you’re interested in nvcasino or you just want to know a little bit more about this game, we’re here to break down what we think is going to happen when these teams collide.

Call us football romantics, but we’d like to believe that the Moroccan spirit of Wydad will lead them down the path of a goal in this game. They may not take the lead and they probably won’t even equalise, but they’ll get a goal that will genuinely give hope to players and teams for generations to come. That sounds like a bit of an exaggeration, but we genuinely believe that.

Of course, this is Manchester City we’re talking about here, even if it’s a City side that is a far cry from what they were just twelve months ago. Pep’s men are ruthless when they get going and after being forced to break a sweat after a frustrating first 15-20 minutes, we believe they’ll finally start to find a rhythm that allows them to regain some confidence in front of goal.

We believe they’ll be able to pick up a 4-1 win here and given some of the other tests that they have ahead of them, we’d say they’ll be able to take some real encouragement away from a result like that.

Official prediction: Manchester City 4-1 Wydad AC
