CAF African Champions League Final: Wydad Casablanca vs. Al Ahly
The CAF African Champions League final is set to take place on June 11, 2023, at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco. The match will feature two of the most successful clubs in African football, Wydad Casablanca and Al Ahly.
Wydad Casablanca are the defending champions, having won the title in 2022. They are also the most successful club in the competition's history, having won it a record three times. Al Ahly are the second most successful club in the competition, having won it a record 10 times.
The first leg of the final was played on June 4, 2023, at the Cairo International Stadium in Egypt. Al Ahly won the match 2-1, thanks to goals from Percy Tau and Mahmoud Kahraba. Wydad's only goal came from Saifeddine Bouhra.
The second leg of the final will be a must-win for both teams. Wydad need to win by two goals to lift the trophy, while Al Ahly will be looking to defend their slender lead and win the title for a record 11th time.
The match is sure to be a thrilling encounter between two of the continent's best teams. The winner will be crowned the champions of Africa and will qualify to represent the continent at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Prediction
The match is sure to be a close encounter, but I believe that Al Ahly will be too strong for Wydad and will win the title for a record 11th time. Al Ahly have a better squad and have been in better form in recent months. They also have the home advantage in the second leg, which will be a big factor.
However, Wydad are a dangerous side and cannot be underestimated. They are the defending champions and have a lot of experience in big matches. They will be determined to win the title back and will be giving it everything they have.
I think the match will be a close affair, but I believe that Al Ahly will just edge it and win the title.
