Morocco is slightly priced as underdogs to win against Croatia. The visitors are one of the best teams in the FIFA World Cup 2022. Backing Morocco to avoid defeat (+0.5) against Croatia is a very valuable bet in this fixture.

Croatia and Morocco clash at the Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday in the third place fixture of the Qatar World Cup 2022.

Morocco saw their beautiful run in this tournament come to an end against France in the semi finals. The Atlas Lions' loss against the blues was their only defeat in this tournament. Morocco has avoided defeat five times in six games at the World Cup, winning three of those games and sharing points on two occasions including wins against Belgium and Portugal.

Walid Regragui's side has scored a total of five goals in their last five games. They are averaging a goal per game and most of those goals came against tougher teams, they should easily get a positive result against Croatia. Morocco is also a very good defensive team and that can be an advantage to getting a good result against Croatia. The African side has kept four clean sheets in six games at the World Cup.

Croatia lost to Argentina in the semi-finals, failing to make back to back final appearances at the World Cup. They have not been in great winning form despite reaching the semi finals of the FIFA World Cup. Croatia has mainly depended on penalties in the knockouts, qualifying for the quarter finals and semi finals through spot kicks.

Zlatko Dalic's team has won one game in this tournament — a 4-1 win over Canada in the group stage of the FIFA World Cup. Croatia has four draws and a loss from the other games. They were not convincing in the 3-0 defeat against Argentina and Morocco put in a better display against France.

Both teams met in the group stage earlier in this competition. The match ended in a goalless draw but Morocco finished top of the group ahead of Croatia. The Moroccans have been in better form since then and are likely to win. Backing Morocco to win or draw (+0.5) is the best available option in this fixture.

摩洛哥在对阵克罗地亚的比赛中被略微低估。客队是2022年世界杯的最佳球队之一。在这场比赛中，支持摩洛哥避免输给克罗地亚(+0.5)是一个非常有价值的赌注。

周六，克罗地亚和摩洛哥将在哈利法国际体育场举行2022年卡塔尔世界杯季军大战。

摩洛哥在半决赛中遭遇法国队，他们在本届杯赛上的精彩表现被终结。阿特拉斯雄狮队输给蓝军队是他们本届杯赛的唯一一场失利。摩洛哥在世界杯的6场比赛中5次避免失败，其中赢了3场，并在两场比赛中与比利时和葡萄牙平分积分。

瓦利德·雷格拉圭的球队在过去的5场比赛中总共进了5球。他们场均能进一球，而且大部分进球都是在对强队的比赛中打进的，对阵克罗地亚他们应该能轻松取得一个积极的结果。摩洛哥也是一支防守很好的球队，这可以成为对克罗地亚取得好成绩的一个优势。这支非洲球队在世界杯6场比赛中4场零封对手。

克罗地亚队在半决赛中输给了阿根廷队，未能连续两次参加世界杯决赛。尽管他们进入了世界杯半决赛，但他们并没有取得很好的胜利状态。克罗地亚在淘汰赛中主要依靠点球，通过点球晋级四分之一决赛和半决赛。

兹拉特科·达利奇的球队在本届比赛中赢了一场比赛，在世界杯小组赛中4-1战胜加拿大。克罗地亚在其他比赛中4平1负。他们在0 - 3输给阿根廷的比赛中表现得并不令人信服，摩洛哥在对阵法国的比赛中表现得更好。

两队此前在小组赛中相遇。这场比赛以0 - 0的平局结束，但摩洛哥以小组第一的成绩领先克罗地亚。自那以后，摩洛哥人的状态有所改善，很有可能获胜。支持摩洛哥赢球或打平(+0.5)是本场比赛的最佳选择。
