Mamelodi Sundowns vs Wydad Casablanca Prediction and Betting Tips | May 20th 2023 

Mamelodi Sundowns will welcome Wydad Casablanca to the Loftus Versfeld Stadium for the second leg of their CAF Champions League semifinal tie on Saturday.

The tie is still firmly in the balance, with both sides having shared the spoils in a goalless stalemate in the first leg in Casablanca last weekend. Sundowns played with a man down for over 50 minutes following Neo Maema's first-half dismissal, while Marcelo Allende was also shown his marching orders in second-half injury time.

The South African champions followed up their continental stalemate with another draw in league action in midweek. Bradley Ralani's first-half strike was canceled out by Jose Meza's 71st-minute goal to ensure the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United.

Mamelodi Sundowns will turn their attention back to the continent. The winner of the tie will face either Al Ahly or Esperance in the final.
