Croatia vs Morocco 17.12.2022

The dream of a successive World Cup final appearance for Croatia ended in spectacular fashion as they were outclassed 3-0 by Argentina in the semi-final. An early Lionel Messi penalty following goalkeeper Livanovic’s foul on Julian Alvarez meant that Croatia were left chasing the game as Argentina sat back and hit them with devastating counter-attacks. Croatia failed to impress on the day.

Morocco already made history by being the first African and Arab team to reach the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup. Nevertheless, they could not go a step further as they crumbled against defending champions France in the semis. Despite France winning 2-0, Morocco were very impressive and only lacked proper finishing to convert the chances that they created. They can leave the tournament with their heads held high.

This 3rd place playoff is a repeat of the group game earlier in the tournament which ended in a 0-0 draw. Both teams reached the semi-final stage on the back of strong, defensive displays and narrow wins. They each average only 1.00 goals per game and we don’t expect many goals in this match either. Thus, we predict that less than 3 goals will be scored in this match.
