Croatia take on Morocco in the match for the third place in FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Saturday, December 17th at Khalifa International Stadium (Doha).
The Croatian national team played better than Argentina in the first half hour of the match in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup. But in that meeting, refereeing decided a lot, and that evening fate was not on the side of the “checkers”. However, this does not negate the fact that the Croatian national team adds to the World Cup from match to match. Therefore, one should not think that in the battle for bronze, Zlatko Dalic's wards will not have enough motivation. So far, in this tournament in Qatar, the Croatian team has won or lost only once in regular time. Everything else is a solid draw, including against the Moroccans. However, this time around, Luka Modric and his teammates will definitely play to win in regulation time. So it was in the semi-finals against Argentina.

For the Moroccan national team in a global sense, the fairy tale has come to an end. It is clear that bronze at the World Championships will be the greatest achievement in history for this African team. However, the Moroccan team is still heartbroken. Everyone who could or not played against France in the semi-finals. On the way to the second game against Croatia… lost many first-team players. Those who were ready to die for the country in the semi-finals will now still remain on the bench to heal injuries. And there will be no such crazy football in terms of dedication. Not because the Moroccans won't, because they can't.
Before the World Cup in Qatar, Croatia and Morocco had never met each other. But in this tournament, the opponents fought in the group stage. Then the match ended in a draw 0:0, and became one of the most boring in the tournament. Bookmakers are cautious in assessing the chances of teams for bronze in the 2022 World Cup. The victory of the Croatian team is estimated at 2.44 with 3.48 for a draw and 3.04 for the success of the Moroccan team. Of course, the Croats are stronger than the Moroccans in terms of composition. Yes, the Africans will be as motivated as possible, but for the 4 millionth Croatia this bronze is insanely important.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to win.
