Morocco side Wydad have finished second in the domestic league last season, gaining 56 points in 30 matches with 34-19 overall goal difference. Just like their opponents, Wydad had to battle through three rounds of qualifying stage to advance in the group. Moroccan runners-up have eliminated one by one such teams as Douanes Niamey (2-0, 1-2), CNaPS Sport (5-1, 1-2) and Mazembe (2-0, 1-1). The visiting side doesn’t have solid away record this season with only three wins gained in 11 matches, five defeats and three draws.
The opponents met twice in their history back in 2007 when Ivorian side were stronger on aggregate (2-0, 0-0). Ivory Coast team appears to be favorites of the upcoming clash as well, considering their home record and mediocre results of Wydad on the road this year.
Prediction for the match: ASEC Mimosa to win.
