Croatia vs Morocco Match Preview:
While Qatar 2022 has been full of surprises, the two outsiders were beaten in their respective semi-finals, but they can still put an end to what has been a storied tournament on top.
Croatia comes to this match after a 3-0 loss against Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina in the semifinal of the competition. A goal from Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi and a brace from Manchester City striker Julián Álvarez secured victory for Argentina.
While the vanquished 2018 finalists have yet to make it to the main event again, securing a second-third-place finish would be another remarkable achievement for a country with a population of only around four million people.
Morocco, meanwhile, lost 2-0 to Didier Deschamp’s France in the semifinal of the competition. Goals from AC Milan left-back Theo Hernández and Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani sealed the deal for France.
The Atlas Lions are already the first African team to reach the final four, but they could celebrate the more tangible achievement of finishing third with a win, while Croatia looks to replicate their 1998 success.
Croatia vs Morocco Prediction
You have to appreciate the consistency of Croatia. Having reached the 2018 FIFA World Cup final, they once again exceeded expectations to reach the semi-finals this year, beating favorites Brazil along the way. This is probably Luka Modric’s last World Cup, and the legendary Real Madrid star will be proud of what he has achieved with the national team.
Morocco made history by becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. Manager Walid Regragui and his men will be very proud of their performances in the competition.
Both teams are defensively strong and very disciplined at the back, but we expect Croatia to win this encounter narrowly.
