Prediction published on 09/12/2023, 05:45  by Daniel Ngulu in CAF Champions League Predictions

Wydad Casablanca have the chance to rise from the bottom of Group B when they host Simba in the CAF Champions League. These two sides occupy the bottom slots, Simba in third and Wydad fourth. Both are yet to win a game in the group though Wydad are badly off, with zero points ahead of this game. Trailing Simba by two points, Wydad will hope to go ahead of their Tanzanian opponents here. They warmed up for this game with a 3-1 win over Mouloudia in their local league. That win ended a run of four straight defeats for Wydad. In three of those four losses they failed to score. The Moroccan side comes into this game without a clean sheet in the last six matches. They’ve however been good at home, with seven wins in the last eight matches they hosted. Their only home loss was against Galaxy in this group. They’ve not only failed to win their opening two games, they also failed to score in the matches. Wydad have however lost just once in 15 Champions League matches at home.

Simba lost to Wydad Casablanca in their last meeting in April, a quarter final clash in the CAF Champions League. That was the second loss in three meetings with Wydad. In the three meetings, Simba’s only win came at home. After draws with Galaxy and ASEC Mimosas in this group, Simba will feel they have what it takes here. However, they haven't managed a win in their last four matches. The 5-1 defeat at home to Young Africans is their only loss in four matches but they’ll want to bounce back here. In their last outing, they played to a 0-0 draw with Galaxy for their only clean sheet in 10 matches. Simba’s Champions League run has no win in the last five matches, though with just one loss. That loss was inflicted by this same opponent they’ll be playing against here. Away from home, they have two losses in four Champions League matches.
