Morocco vs. Croatia - Betting tips, predictions, and odds
Morocco and Croatia will kick off the action in Group F of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar with a tilt at Al Bayt Stadium. Feel free to read the best Morocco vs. Croatia betting tips and predictions.
H2H, form, and stats
Morocco and Croatia will meet for the first time ever. Morocco was dominant in the playoff qualification two-legged duel with D.R. Congo and won 5-2 on aggregate. After that, the Atlas Lions recorded a pair of wins over South Africa and Liberia in the AFCON qualifications, and recently, they played four friendlies, winning two with two draws. The Moroccans are unbeaten in the last six matches and managed to keep their net intact in four of them.
Thanks to a narrow 1-0 over Russia in the final round of the qualifications, Croatia booked their ticket for the World Cup. They topped the group with a point ahead of the Russians, allowing only four goals in ten games and scoring 21 in return.
The Blazers secured four consecutive wins in the UEFA Nations League to finish 1st above Denmark and France and will play in the final tournament in 2023. Croatia defeated Saudi Arabia 1-0 in their latest friendly match as substitute Andrej Kramarić scored the game’s only goal.
Injuries and squad news
Morocco’s head coach Walid Regragui reinstated Hakim Ziyech and Noussair Mazraoui into the national squad upon his arrival in the head coaching role. These two players weren't in a good relationship with the previous coach Vahid Halilhodžić, but now are more than happy to represent their country in Qatar.
That’s excellent news for the fans, as Ziyech is the team’s top scorer with 17 goals. Alongside Ziyech and Mazraoui, other key players are Achraf Hakimi, Romain Saïss, Sofyan Amrabat, and Youssef En-Nesyri, the team’s second top-scorer with 14 goals. Younès Belhanda and Adel Taarabt are two of the high-profile players who didn't receive a call-up for this World Cup.
Croatia’s head coach Zlatko Dalić has a talented squad that won the silver medal in the last World Cup in Russia after losing to France in the finals. Luka Modrić will lead this generation for the last time at the big tournament and the Croatians are hoping to repeat the success from four years ago.
Modrić is surrounded by great players such as Mateo Kovačić, Marcelo Brozović, Ivan Perišić, Joško Gvardiol, and Dejan Lovren, among others. Dalić decided not to call Duje Ćaleta-Car and Josip Brekalo.
Morocco vs. Croatia Betting predictions and odds

Our best tip for Morocco vs. Croatia game
Morocco didn't concede a goal in their last three games, but those were friendlies and now they will have to deal with Croatia, who failed to find the back of the net just once in their previous 15 matches. On the other hand, the Atlas Lions failed to score only twice in their last 27 games, so we expect to see goals on both ends here. The odds on BTTS are pretty nice and will double your stake, so this is a good opportunity to double your money.
