Croatia and Morocco will lock horns when both countries start their 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar campaign on Wednesday morning.
Croatia head into the game as the favourites to get the win over Morocco in what would be their first 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar game.
Some of the favourites in the competition so far have been stunned and that has sent an impression that every country in the competition is beatable.
Croatia will look to avoid starting their campaign with a defeat against Morocco, who are in decent form, having won four and drawn one in their last five matches.
The Croatians, alongside Belgium, are one of the favourites to finish at the top of Group F and getting off to a losing start wouldn’t do Luka Modric’s side any good.
As a result, Zlatko Dalić will start his strongest side against Morocco as he understands there’s no room for mistakes.
Morocco
Goalkeeper: Bono
Defenders: Allah, Aguerd, Hakimi, Saiss, Jabrane
Midfielders: Ounahi, Ziyech
Forwards: Boufal, En-Nesyri, Amallah
Croatia
Goalkeeper: Livakovic
Defenders: Barisic, Erlic, Lovren, Stanisic
Midfielders: Brozovic, Kovacic, Modric
Forwards: Persic, Kramaric, Oršić
Although Croatia are the favourites to win the game, Morocco also have the chance to get on the scoreboard, thanks to their recent form. The African side have won four and drawn one in their last five matches, suggesting they are capable of scoring a goal before the final whistle.
Bet on Croatia to win + Morocco to score YES
Morocco had only failed to score in one of their last five matches. Croatia had scored at least one goal in each of their last five matches. Both sides have good chances of getting on the scoreboard this morning.
