ASEC Mimosas vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction: Both sides can’t afford to lose

In the upcoming Round 2 of CAF Champions League action, ASEC Mimosas will host Wydad Casablanca at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny. Without further ado, let's proceed with the match previews and craft a prediction.

ASEC Mimosas demonstrated resilience by coming from a goal down to secure a draw against Simba in their opening CAF Champions League group match, concluding with a 1-1 scoreline. Falling behind just before halftime due to Simba converting a penalty, ASEC initiated two substitutions in the second half, proving effective as they equalized in the 77th minute.

However, ASEC Mimosas has faced inconsistency in recent performances, with a record of one victory, two losses, and two draws in their last five matches. During this period, they scored two goals and conceded three. On their home turf, ASEC has displayed solidity, winning three of their last five matches, accompanied by one loss and one draw. Notably, they scored seven goals while conceding three at the back during these home fixtures.

ASEC Mimosas is undoubtedly a formidable team, and despite Wydad Casablanca playing as the away side, they should not be underestimated. Both teams are expected to approach the match cautiously, being mindful of defensive vulnerabilities. Although the game is likely to be closely contested, I predict that the home team will have the advantage in a match that is expected to have a limited number of goals.
