One of the dark horses from Africa meets with another from Europe as Morocco and Croatia go head to head to initiate proceedings in the FIFA World Cup 2022. They feature in a Group of Death as it is called. Group F will see Belgium, Canada, Morocco and Croatia battle it out for two Round of 16 spots. While Morocco remains the weakest opposition among the four, the African sides have had a habit of causing decent upsets in the world cup, in the past. This will also be the first time these two sides meet in any type of fixture (competitive or non-competitive). Will Morocco's golden generation be able to beat this Croatian side which is bidding goodbyes to many legends after this tournament? Only time shall tell.
Morocco vs Croatia Betting Tips: BTTS
A unique pattern observed in both sides' form-up, especially before this summer, is the trend of clean sheets being maintained. Both sides have seen BTTS-No in a majority of their games this year, 2022, and it is not a coincidence. While Morocco boasts a very strong defence, with full-backs playing as almost wing-backs, Croatia have gone for a non-aggressive approach whenever the terrific trio of Luka Modric-Marcelo Brozovic-Mateo Kovacic have not performed up to par. We thus believe that this game will either end in a 0-0 stalemate or will see a late winner leading to a slender but massively important 1-0 win. Our final prediction will be a 1-0 Croatia win with BTTS-No being our best bet.

Morocco Team News
The 22-ranked side in the FIFA rankings, Morocco has been vocal about their love for Achraf Hakimi for quite some time. Though the Paris Saint-Germain wing-back remains the African nation's biggest name, there is someone who has been gradually growing to secure his place among the first team for Qatar 2022. Forward Sofiane Boufal has contributed to 3 goals and assists during the AFCON 2022 campaign which ended midway through the semi-final for Morocco. Not only with his scoring boots, but Boufal also contributes to his team's success with 3.2 key passes per game, which is 50% more than any other player's averages in 2022. Hakimi and Boufal will thus be our two players to keep an eye on, this summer.

Croatia Team News
Luka Modric will bow out from the global stage with another international campaign this winter. The Croatian legend and Balon d'Or winner has one World Cup left in him, as he fails to drop his levels as a Real Madrid player every season. His compatriots Marcel Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic are the two most press-resistant midfielders that Europe boasts, and breaking their harmony would be a tough pill for the Moroccan side. Another less-known name who could finally make or break their International career is right-winger Mario Pasalic. Pasalic has been one of the top three magnificent scorers for Croatia since 2022 began. Defender Josip Sutalo has been rated the best player of Croatia in 2022, thanks to his average of 4.5 interceptions every game, which directly contributes to the nation's success.
