«Morocco» – «Croatia» Prediction
11/23/2022The Moroccan and Croatian national teams will face off on Wednesday, 23 November, at 1 pm Moscow time in El Haour at the Al Bayt Stadium in the first leg of Group F of the 2022 World Cup. According to bookmakers, the away side is the clear favourite to win this encounter. However, Morocco is a dark horse in the tournament. Will the teams be able to put up a productive performance? Check out our accurate prediction.
Morocco
Suggested line-up:
Scheme 5-3-2
Goalkeeper: Bono (Sevilla)
Defence: Masina (Udinese), Hakimi (PSG), Aguerd (West Ham), Cesc (Besiktas), El Yamik (Valladolid)
Midfield: Ounahi (Angers), Amrabat (Fiorentina), Ziesh (Chelsea)
Attack: En-Neciri (Sevilla), Munir (Sevilla)
The Moroccan national team has one of the best and strongest squads on the African continent. However, the team is still struggling to reach great heights. The Moroccans were left out of the quarter-finals at the previous African Nations Cup and finished last in their group at the World Cup in Russia. However, do not underestimate the Moroccan team, as they love to display attacking football and are prepared to disappoint any opponent.

Croatia
Suggested line-up:
Scheme 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb)
Defence: Sosa (Stuttgart), Guardiola (RB Leipzig), Juranovic (Celtic), Cialeta-Car (Marseille)
Midfield: Modric (Real Madrid), Brozovic (Inter), Pasalic (Atalanta)
Attack: Perisic (Tottenham), Vlasic (Torino), Kramaric (Hoffenheim)
The Croatian national team fell in love with fans all over the world when they played at the World Cup in Russia. There, Zlatko Dalic's team made it all the way to the final, where they lost 2-4 to France. The team's head coach has stayed on since, but the leaders have noticeably aged and can no longer deliver the high-intensity football of the previous Mundial. Croatia is now playing extremely primitive football, and their matches are rarely result-oriented.

By betting on Morocco's victory, you can increase your bankroll by 382%. The bookmakers' odds for a Morocco win are 191/50.
