While their opponent, Morocco defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo in the playoffs to get to their second consecutive World Cup. 

Group F at the 2022 FIFA World Cup seems one of the most balanced groups with Belgium, Canada, Croatia, and Morocco all fighting for the first two places. You can find more about the possible World Cup winner in our betting guide. In such a tough quarter, every game matters. And surely Croatia will arrive with the aim of winning their first match. It won’t be easy to repeat their previous result after they reached the final four years ago. They lost against France, but it was still the country’s best result. Last year the team performed much worse though at the European Championship. Since then they achieved some great results again but the Vatreni will face a difficult opponent at the Al Bayt Stadium in the face of the Atlas Lions. 

Morocco v Croatia Betting Tips Favor Croatia to Win

Croatia won their World Cup qualifying group ahead of Russia. They also played well in this year’s Nations League and won against Denmark, France, and Austria. The team topped its group and got to the next year’s final. All of them are promising signs ahead of this tournament and make them the favorites against Morocco. Online sportsbooks in Croatia offer an odds of 1.885 for their win. Even though some of their key players like Luka Modric, Domagoj Vida, and Ivan Perisic is over 30. But Croatia’s head coach, Zlatko Dalic can also rely on younger players such as Vfl Wolfsburg striker Josip Brekalo or Torino midfielder Nikola Vlasic. 

The team scored 21 goals in the qualifiers and conceded only four, so Morocco might struggle to score against them as well. We can find an odds of 2.09 for both teams to score in the match. Only one of them scoring has an odds of 1.704 in Morocco v Croatia betting tips. Scoring lots of goals are not typical in these games, and we don’t expect too many here. For having more than 2 goals in the match, bookmakers offer an odds of 1.76. Having more than three goals has an odds of 3.62. 

Can Morocco get a point(s)?

Morocco won its World Cup qualifying group with six wins. They also defeated DR Congo in the playoff 5-2 on aggregate. The team got to the quarter-finals in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations but they suffered a defeat there from Egypt. The Atlas Lions also beat Chile in a friendly game ahead of the World Cup so fans of the team are hoping for a good performance now. Getting through to the knockout stage seems like a very difficult task. But getting a point against Croatia might be possible. Now online gambling sites in Croatia offer an odds of 3.22 for a draw. 

Walid Regragui took over the head coach position only a few months ago but he can rely on top-class players. Like PSG defender Achraf Hakimi or Hakim Ziyech. The Chelsea forward returned back to the team after a long absence following his arguments with the former head coach. Now he and Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri can be the most dangerous for the Croatian goal. If they managed to score even a win is possible which has an odds of 4.68. One thing is sure, whichever team wins the game, will make a big step toward the last 16. Croatia’s odds to do so are 1.48. While Morocco have an odds of 3.38 for advancing on 1xBet.
