Yet for Croatia and Morocco, there is plenty on the line despite the lack of a true competitive environment.

For Morocco, their fans have flooded the stadiums in Qatar to support their Atlas Lions en masse as they pushed much further into the World Cup knockout stage than anyone expected. It will behoove the Morocco squad to put on one more positive performance to see their fans out with a boom.

Croatia, meanwhile, will be gearing up for one last rodeo for their ageing stars. Important players such as Ivan Perisic, Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida, Marcelo Brozovic, and Andrej Kramaric are all over 30 years old and could be playing in their final World Cup. For 37-year-old superstar Luka Modric, who is considered one of the greatest midfielders to ever live, it is almost surely a final dance in the sport's biggest environment.

Croatia

Croatia started positively in their defeat to Argentina but were eventually undone and as soon as they conceded the first goal, they never really looked like they would get back into the game. baring the game against Canada, scoring goals was a big issue for Croatia at this World Cup and they really seem to lack and out and out striker, something they will be looking to address before their big Nations League game.

Morocco

Morocco have been the surprise package of the 2022 World Cup, becoming the first-ever African country to make it through to the Semi-Finals and doing an entire continent proud. Similarly to Croatia, the North Africans seemed to lack a real goal threat in the final third but their defence was really impressive from day one and even so against France who had to work hard for their 2-goals in the Semi-Final.

Croatia vs Morocco Predictions

The first match in the group stage between Morocco and Croatia ended in a 0:0 draw. We expect something similar to happen this time but we still expect to see an exchange of goals. Our ideal outcome is the 1:1 draw. Both sides have shown that they can play attacking football but prefer to be defensive. Although the 3rd place is not that important, we should see traditional performances from both sides and an under.
