Latest Man City vs Wydad football review
Man City come to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in need of a morale boost after a disappointing 2024/25 season both domestically and in Europe. Failures in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup have made Pep Guardiola and his players determined to win a title right from the start of the season to create momentum. As the reigning 2023 Club World Cup champions, The Citizens know how to conquer this playground, and Wydad are clearly not an opponent that can stand in their way in the group stage.
In terms of form, Man City are clearly superior. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches, not conceding a goal in all 3 of those victories. In contrast, Wydad have only won 2 matches in the same period and have suffered 3 defeats, including 2 matches without scoring a goal.
Man City's style of play still revolves around ball control and space dominance thanks to a creative midfield duo likeRodri–Returnssame speed from the edges withDokuandMarmoush. On the offensive line,Haalandis still the main striker, who can punish any mistake of the opponent's defense. On the contrary, Wydad will find it difficult to withstand the constant pressure from the 2022/23 Premier League champion.
The difference in squad quality, top-level experience and tactical organization makes Wydad's chances of scoring points almost non-existent. This will likely be a one-sided match with Man City completely dominating the game.
