Manchester City enter this tie off the back of a very strong Premier League campaign, finishing third with 21 wins and an average of 1.89 goals scored per match. Their attacking firepower, led by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, has been relentless, while their defensive metrics remain among the best in Europe.

Manchester City to Win (1/20)

City have scored in 84% of their games and have a conversion rate of 14%, with Haaland (22 goals) and Foden (7 goals) leading the line. Wydad, meanwhile, win just 33% of their away matches in Morocco and 25% away in international settings, with an xG for of 1.22 and xG against of 1.51. The technical and physical gap is significant, making a City win highly likely.
Over 2.5 Goals (3/10)
Research: Manchester City’s matches average 3.05 goals in the Premier League and 2.20 in international competition. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 61% of their league matches and 30% of their Club World Cup fixtures, but the attacking quality at their disposal suggests this trend is set to continue. Wydad’s matches average 2.07 goals on the road, and they have conceded in 67% of away league games. With City’s attacking depth and Wydad’s defensive vulnerabilities against top-tier opposition, expect a high-scoring contest at the neutral venue.
Both Teams to Score – No (3/10)
Research: City’s defensive record in international matches is excellent, with clean sheets in 60% of recent Club World Cup games and only 1.16 goals conceded per Premier League match. In neutral-venue matches, their organisation and control of possession (62% average) make them tough to break down. Wydad have failed to score in 27% of their away league games and average just 1.0 goal per match in international competition. The BTTS ‘No’ has landed in 70% of City’s recent Club World Cup fixtures, and Wydad’s attack, led by Rayhi (11 goals), is unlikely to breach City’s disciplined back line.
