Manchester City’s first match in the revamped FIFA Club World Cup throws them straight into new territory. The tournament has expanded from seven teams to 32, and FIFA have moved it to the United States with matches spread across multiple cities.
Wydad arrive as Morocco’s most successful club with 22 Botola wins and three CAF Champions League titles, but they’re stepping into completely different territory against Pep Guardiola’s expensively assembled squad. City’s global profile means their players are household names worldwide, whilst Wydad’s stars operate outside the spotlight of European football.
The match takes place at an NFL stadium in Philadelphia. Channel 5 have snapped up the UK rights, meaning you won’t need a subscription to watch City attempt to add another trophy to their collection.

7bet provides the following odds for the next FIFA Club World Cup match between Manchester City and Wydad AC.
Please note that all these odds are accurate at the time of publishing. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing your bet.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market represents the most straightforward betting option, covering the three possible outcomes: home win (1), draw (X), or away win (2). The odds for this match tell you everything about how this fixture is perceived.
Current 1X2 Odds:
- Manchester City win (1): 1/12
- Draw (X): 8/1
- Wydad AC win (2): 25/1
These odds suggest bookmakers view a Manchester City victory as virtually certain, with the 1/12 price implying a 92.3% probability of success for Pep Guardiola’s side. It’s the kind of odds that usually make punters look elsewhere if they want bigger returns. However, the Man City vs Wydad AC betting odds in the correct score market offer alternative angles for value—especially for those with a strong prediction on how the goals might flow.
Double Chance Odds
This type of betting removes one outcome, providing better odds for covering two of the three possible results. Double chance markets exist for exactly this situation – when one team is so heavily fancied that the straight win becomes pointless for most punters.
Double Chance Options:
- Manchester City or Draw (1X): 1/100
- Manchester City or Wydad AC (12): 1/25
- Draw or Wydad AC (X2): 13/3
The 1X option essentially says “City won’t lose.” The 12 option at 1/25 is still almost worthless, but at least offers marginally better value.
The interesting option here is X2 at 13/3. It’s still a long shot, but it covers the scenario where Wydad either frustrate City into a draw or pull off something memorable. Given how defensive teams can sometimes stifle superior opposition in cup competitions, there’s at least a logic to it.
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting evens the playing field when one team is clearly stronger. The bookmaker gives one team a head start or deficit before the match begins – on paper, not in reality.
The handicap market here attempts to create a proper contest by giving Wydad a head start.
Some Key Handicap Lines:
- Manchester City -1.5: 10/31
- Wydad AC +1.5: 43/20
The 1.5-goal handicap means City need to win by two or more goals for the -1.5 bet to succeed. At 10/31, the bookmakers clearly expect this to happen, but the odds suggest it’s not a foregone conclusion.
Wydad +1.5 at 43/20 offers decent value – they just need to avoid losing by more than one goal. That covers draws, Wydad wins, and even narrow City victories.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Both Teams to Score betting focuses on whether both sides will find the net, regardless of the final result.
BTTS Odds For This Match:
- Yes: 19/10
- No: 3/8
The “No” option is favoured, suggesting bookmakers expect only one team to score, most likely City finding the net while keeping Wydad off the scoresheet entirely. This reflects expectations that Wydad will struggle to create clear chances against City’s defence.
The “Yes” option at 19/10 offers decent value if you believe Wydad can capitalise on any rare opportunities.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
The total goals market allows punters to bet on whether the match will produce more or fewer goals than a specified line, typically set at 2.5 goals (but you can adjust it however you prefer). The “.5” is there to avoid a tie, as there’s no such thing as half a goal. With this market, you don’t bet on who wins or loses, just on how many goals will be scored overall.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals:
- Over 2.5 goals: 3/7
- Under 2.5 goals: 12/7
The preference for over 2.5 goals suggests bookmakers expect teams to score at least twice, possibly three times, but aren’t anticipating a complete rout.
Under 2.5 at 12/7 offers reasonable value if you think Wydad will defend with their lives and City might take their foot off the gas once ahead.
Correct Score Odds
Predicting exact scorelines is notoriously difficult. The Man City vs Wydad AC betting odds offer several intriguing options for those aiming to call the correct score.
Popular Correct Score Options:
- Manchester City 4-0 Wydad AC: 6/1
- Manchester City 2-0 Wydad AC: 13/3
- Manchester City 2-1 Wydad AC: 12/1
- Draw 0-0: 25/1
