Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Wednesday’s FIFA Club World Cup fixture:
Manchester City v Wydad AC – Wednesday, 5pm
- Despite winning this competition back in 2023, Manchester City didn’t hit those same heights during last season, failing to pick up a trophy under Pep Guardiola for the first since the 2016/2017 campaign.
- That below-par season for City resulted in them acting quickly during the summer transfer window, adding Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri to his squad before they made the trip to the USA.
- Man City should enter this tournament with quite a bit of confidence as their FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace remains their only defeat in their last thirteen games across all competitions.
——————————– - This is the third time that Wydad AC have participated in the FIFA Club World Cup yet the side from Casablanca are yet to pick up a victory in this tournament.
- Since taking over as manager, Mohamed Amine Benhachem has seen his side win just one of his four games in charge so far, including two 1-0 defeats in club friendly games against two European sides in Sevilla and FC Porto.
- Wydad AC head into this fixture as massive underdogs on the betting market and i think we’ll see the gulf in class between the two sides, with a comfortable victory for Man City.
Prediction: Manchester City To Win To Nil, Manchester City 5-0 Wydad AC.
