Wydad Casablanca
Wydad Casablanca beat last year's champions, Mamelodi Sundown, as the sun finally set on their Champions League reign, in the last eight and beat their opponents tonight 2-0 in Casablanca in the group stages thanks to goals from Walid El Karti and Fabrice Ondama.
Looking to extend their winning streak at home in the competition, the side formerly managed by John Toshack before he got the sack by losing 4-0 in the same competition last season, have an advantage in that they can decide the tempo of the game given the score in the first leg. Their rivals simply have to score, which should make it an open and enterprising game.
Last year's Morocco champions are bottom of the Botola Pro league with just one game played this season though. That is slightly misleading, however as every other team has played at least four games with some playing as many as seven while the Casablanca side played and lost one due to their Champions League commitments.
Having not won the competition since 1992, and only on the one occasion, before coming close in 2011 before having to settle for a runners-up spot, they will look to go one further tonight in front of a home crowd.
Al-Alhy
Al-Ahly will be looking to win their ninth, a record, African Champions League when they visit the Morccocan city along with the added bonus of collecting the €2.1 million cash prize and a place in December's Club World Cup in UAE agains the likes of Real Madrid.
They have their work cut out for them against a Wydad side who are unbeaten in the Champions League this season, however. Their Moroccan opponents are also yet to concede in this season's Champions League at home meaning their quest for a goal will have to be relentless, and start from the first minute on Saturday night.
Al-Ahly manager, Hossam Al Badry, says: “I’ve said right from the start that the final would not be decided in the first leg. There’s still one game to go in Morocco and we have to focus on that. We didn’t have any luck in the first match and I hope we’re going to get some in the return. I’m convinced we’re going to create chances because our opponents are going to leave space for us. Our hopes are still intact.”
