Wydad vs Al-Ain Prediction and Analysis: A breathtaking comeback.

Latest team news for Wydad vs Al-Ain

Wydad will most likely use Samuel Obeng or Cassius Mailula as a central striker, but the main threats will likely come from the wings.

Veteran winger Nordin Amrabat created five chances against Juventus, while South African striker Thembinkosi Lorch scored against Man City from three shots.

If coach Amine Benhachem wants to refresh the attack, Mohamed Rayhi – who scored 11 goals in the Moroccan league last season – could be included in the starting lineup.

On Al-Ain's side, coach Vladimir Ivic made several changes after the heavy defeat in the first match, but the effect was almost negligible.

Kaku, Kouame Autonne, and veteran Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio could return to the starting lineup, but there's no doubt about who will play furthest forward.

Moroccan striker Soufiane Rahimi will face his compatriots. He was named the best player in the 2024 AFC Champions League and won the Golden Boot at last year's Paris Olympics. However, Rahimi has yet to score in his three starts at the Club World Cup, and has only had one shot on target.

Latest predicted lineups for Wydad vs Al-Ain

Wydad:Benabid; Moufi, Meijers, Boutouil, Ferreira, Moufid; Amrabat, Malsa, El Moubarik, Lorch; Mailula

Al-Ain:Patricio; Autonne, Park, Rabia; Traore, Nader, Palacios, Chadli; Kaku; Laba, Rahimi

Latest football match prediction: Wydad vs Al-Ain

After losing both of their first two matches this summer, Wydad is still searching for their first-ever victory at the FIFA Club World Cup, with a current record of one draw and four defeats.

This year's tournament marks Wydad's third appearance, and they earned their place in the US-based competition by winning the CAF Champions League three years ago.

Despite being Morocco's most successful club with 22 national championships – their most recent title coming in 2022 – making their mark outside of Africa remains beyond their reach.

Following their 0-2 defeat to Man City in their opening match, Wydad suffered another 1-4 loss to Juventus on Sunday, with two moments of brilliance from Kenan Yildiz playing a decisive role in Philadelphia.

Although Thembinkosi Lorch scored the first Club World Cup goal for a Moroccan club against a European opponent since 2000, there is nothing to celebrate for coach Amine Benhachem and his team, as they are almost certain to be eliminated from the tournament.

However, with a better goal difference than Al-Ain, a draw would be enough to help Wydad avoid finishing last in Group G. Even so, they certainly want to end the campaign with a historic victory.

Continuing their disappointing run in FIFA's top club competition, Al-Ain conceded six goals in their last match and are also preparing to leave the United States.

Only amateur team Auckland City has conceded more goals so far, after Al-Ain's 0-6 defeat to giants Man City in the Premier League.

The heavy defeat in Atlanta came shortly after the 0-5 loss to Juventus, and coach Vladimir Ivic watched his team concede 11 goals from 18 shots on target.

The 14-time UAE champions – and the reigning AFC Champions League winners of 2024 – arrived in the US with a seven-match unbeaten streak, including six clean sheets, but clearly, class was still a major obstacle.

Including their most recent Club World Cup appearance, Al-Ain have lost three consecutive matches with a combined score of 0-14, so they are eager to redeem themselves in Thursday's game.
