Wydad Casablanca (Morocco)
The Red Castle have been phenomenal since the commencement of the tournament. I never thought they would go this far after their poor start to the campaign. After eliminating the favorite to win this tournament, Mamelodi Sundowns, Wydad Casablanca are behind in this precious encounter. Saifeddine Bouhra came on in the 82nd minute to pull a goal back for Wydad in Egypt, having gone two goals down against Al Ahly. It was not a bad result for the Red Castle, who must score once and ensure they shut out the visitors here. Wydad Casablanca have kept five clean sheets in all their home games in this tournament, winning three while sharing the spoils once.
Al Ahly (Egypt)
The Red Devils are the most successful club in the tournament’s history, with a record ten titles to their name, and might be on the way to securing another championship. Al Ahly come into this match in fine form, having won ten of their last twelve games in all competitions. Al Ahly were fantastic against Wydad Casablanca in Egypt and had the opportunity to score more than the two goals. The Red Devils carry a commanding lead in this fixture and are well-positioned to secure this title.

Expert Betting Tips
The Egyptian powerhouse have been fantastic in this tournament and showed they are in for it after their remarkable performance against Wydad in Egypt. Al Ahly scored in both halves through Percy Tau and Kahraba before a consolation goal from substitute Saifeddine Bouhra. This game won’t be cagey, as we expect both sides to come out gun blazing. With the (0-2) defeat in last season’s final still fresh in the minds of the visitors, the Red Devils can’t avoid slacking here. Al Ahly have been remarkable in recent months with fifteen unbeaten runs in all competitions; having secured both the Egyptian Super Cup and Egypt Cup, we expect them to come on top here; bet on Al Ahly to win the trophy for 1.70.
With Bouly Junior and El Moutraji up front for Wydad Casablanca, this game isn’t going to end in a goalless draw. I believe this game will end in favor of who scores more; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.24.
This game presents an essential test for Al Ahly, who must be physically and mentally ready to take revenge against Wydad Casablanca for last year’s loss. Despite the crazy home support available for the Red Castle, we feel Al Ahly can’t be intimidated, and we expect them to win either half for 2.07.
