Wydad AC vs CODM Meknès - Botola Pro

When Wydad AC and CODM Meknès clash at Stade Mohamed V on October 11, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a Botola Pro fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. O'Neill made five changes for Celtic's midweek win at St Johnstone as he rested some key players ahead of Sunday's clash.

There is little to choose between Wydad AC and CODM Meknès on paper, and the Botola Pro encounter should reflect that balance. Wydad AC are mired in a difficult campaign, LLLLL over their last five and a paltry win rate of 0% painting a bleak picture. CODM Meknès are searching for answers away from home, LWDDL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 0%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Wydad AC average 0 per game to CODM Meknès's 0, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. But Fuseini's equaliser leaves Burnley winless and bottom of the Championship, having failed to gain three points from a match Hayen had described beforehand as "must-win".

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Wydad AC will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while CODM Meknès must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. The winner came from a rare counter-attack by the new-look Spurs side, who defended well throughout with Andy Robertson making his first start and Jan Paul van Hecke on debut, as they battled to secure another win in pre-season.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. Tottenham have made contact over a sensational move for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo as Roberto De Zerbi continues his ambitious summer rebuild.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Botola Pro standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top.
