On Saturday at Khalifa International Stadium, Croatia and Morocco will play for the bronze medal in the 2022 World Cup.

Both of these countries had excellent performances to go to the 2022 World Cup semifinals, but they were ultimately defeated by superior teams.

However, Croatia and Morocco still have a chance to win this weekend when they face off to discover who will take third place.

Morocco made history in this World Cup by becoming the first African nation to go to the World Cup semifinals. They accomplished this in outstanding style, coming out on top of a challenging group ahead of Croatia, Belgium, and Canada, then omitting Spain and Portugal in the knockout round.

Croatia too punched above its weight reaching the semi-final for a second successive time after defeating Japan and Brazil in the knockout before surrendering to Argentina 3-0 in the last game. Both sides will now fight for pride and despite the low exposure, this promises to be a well-contested game.

Croatia are short on attacking talent and display, which makes them weak as a favorite in this fixture. Morocco have shown a better display throughout the tournament and they will be more motivated to snatch a win here.
