Wydad AC vs. Man City Betting Analysis
Manchester City enters the first round with an implied win probability of around 93%, reflecting their status as reigning champions and one of the strongest teams in Europe.
Even after a disappointing season that saw them miss out on all major trophies, their reputation and squad depth keep them firmly atop the odds board. They are among the top three favorite teams to win the competition.
On the other hand, Wydad AC’s chances remain remote, with markets barely budging since opening. The North African side is respected on its continent but, like most non-European sides at this level, is seen as a major underdog when up against elite UEFA competition.
The goal line sits at 3.25, indicating an expectation of a high-scoring game. Of course, Both Teams To Score – Yes is priced way higher than No, with a 33% implied probability of this happening. In reality, chances are even lower, but there is no real value in betting on BTTS – No.
Ultimately, these odds reflect more than just current form; they encapsulate the wider gap between European elite clubs and their global counterparts, a dynamic that rarely shifts regardless of recent results.
Betting on a handicap of -2.5 for Manchester City, with close to even odds, could be the smartest choice ahead of this game.

Wydad AC vs. Man City Prediction
Pick: Manchester City -1.0 First Half Asian Handicap
Our Wydad AC vs. Man City best bet is on the Citizens to win by more than one goal in the first half.
Wydad AC vs. Man City Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Manchester City -1.0 First Half Asian Handicap
Leg 2: Omar Marmoush Anytime Goalscorer
Leg 3: First Half: Over 1.25 Goals Asian Line
On paper, it’s the perfect fixture for Manchester City to put a troubling 2024/25 season behind them and to look ahead at the future. All three summer signings, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Tijjani Reijnders, feature in the squad heading to America. However, Kevin de Bruyne’s absence signals the end of an era.
A one-goal first-half winning margin with a -1.0 First Half Asian Handicap will return your stakes against Wydad AC, whilst a two-goal or greater margin will win the selection.
Omar Marmoush has proven a fantastic January addition from Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. It took the Egyptian no time at all to impact matches at Premier League level. The seven goals (from 5.49xG) in 14 starts in the division have Marmoush running at a 0.5-goals-per-start strike rate.
Additionally, this is a chance for the Egyptian goal-getter to flaunt his skillset against a team from North Africa. The Egypt vs Morocco North African derby has produced plenty of highlights over the years, and we should expect that Marmoush’s desire to fly his country’s flag will be as present as ever.
Pep Guardiola’s side is expected to net more than three goals —a feat they’ve achieved five times in 2025, typically against tougher opponents than Wydad AC, except for League 2 Salford FC. Hence, backing a high-scoring first half (Over 1.25 Goals Asian Line) could be a savvy choice.
If the first half concludes 1-0 either way, you’ll only lose half your stake, which adds to the appeal of this bet.
Wydad AC vs. Man City Projected Starting Lineups

Benabid; Moufti, Harkass, Boutoil, Bouchta; Zemraoui, Moubarik, Mailula; Lorch, Obeng, Rayhi.
