Man City vs Wydad Casablanca Bet Builder Tips

Our Bet Builder tips for Man City vs Wydad Casablanca features Marmoush 2+ Shots on Target & Gvardiol to Score. At the time of writing it was a best price of 14/1 with BetMGM.

Wydad Casablanca finished third in the Moroccan division, they had two warm up games for the Club World Cup against Sevilla and Porto in which they lost both games 1-0 - a respectable result.

However, they face an almost impossible task up against Pep Guardiola's six time English Champions and you can expect City to dominate this game, so it could be worth focusing on City's attacking players to put on an impressive display as they often do against far greater opponents than today's.

  • Marmoush has hit the target in seven of his last 12 games and has hit 2+ shots on target in four of those. He averages 1.3 shots on target in the premier League and should managed two in this game with ease.
  • Gvardiol scored five goals in the premier League last season and averaged 1.1 shots per game. He often found himself in attacking positions in Guardiola's system especially in games they were on the front-foot. I expect City to spend most of the time in Wydad's half, giving Gvardiol plenty of opportunity to get forward. He could see his output increase in this game giving him a good chance at scoring. He is also not afraid to get his head on a corner.
