Underdog Wydad Casablanca Seeks Redemption Against Juventus in Club World Cup Showdown

Facing a Juve in great form, who corrected Al Ain (5-0) on the first day, Wydad will have to surpass itself to hope for a victory, or at least a draw this Sunday, after a defeat against Manchester City. A mission that will not be easy for the men of Mohamed Amine Benhachem who must learn from the defensive errors against City to improve their game and defy the predictions for the match this Sunday. The return from injury of Ayoub Boucheta could help Wydad strengthen its left flank.

The Moroccan club will also have to learn to manage its pace. In the second half against City, the pace dropped in intensity due to the heat and fatigue. Against Juve, Wydad has no room for error. On the offensive side, players like Ismaïl Moutaraji and Lorch will have to be more efficient than in the first match against City where they lacked precision in their shots or crosses. The alignment of the club’s new recruit, 36-year-old Syrian striker Omar Al Somah, could also bring fresh blood to the team and make the difference against a confident Juve.

Wydad Casablanca faces Juventus of Turin this Sunday, June 22 at 5 p.m., at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, as part of the second day of Group G of the Club World Cup.

It will be broadcast live and for free on the DAZN platform.
