The match for the Croatia national team against the Morocco in the 3rd Place Match-up for 2022 World Cup, Saturday, December 17, 2022, will be held at the Khalifa International Stadium (Ar-Rayyan) Stadium, broadcast live streaming. The Croatia vs Morocco meeting will repeat their duel in the first round of the 2022 World Cup group F which ended goalless. Both teams must be ambitious to come out as winners.
The 2022 World Cup semifinals have ended in the evening of December 14. Argentina and France will meet in the Qatar World Cup final on December 18, while Croatia and Morocco will play for third place on September 17.
Croatia, which lost 3-0 to Argentina in the semifinals, did not make history because in the 2018 World Cup edition in Russia, Croatia had even reached the final but lost to France.
Unlike Croatia. The Atlas Lion has made history when it entered the semifinals. Morocco is the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, and now they can make history again if they beat Croatia in the third place match.
Both national teams are famous for their strong defense, they rarely make mistakes. Morocco has conceded only 3 goals which is by far the team that has conceded the least (including 2 goals scored by France), while Croatia has conceded only 4 goals (3 of which were scored by Argentina).
If the fight between Argentina vs France in the final was a battle of the strongest attacks, then the match for third place between Croatia vs Morocco was a shield duel of the strongest man.
Vatreni – the nickname of the Croatian national team has never suffered defeat starting from the group stage to the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. In the round of 16, Zlatko Dalić’s troops showed themselves as an experienced team, they managed to beat Japan 3-1 on penalties. Croatia even won 4-2 over Brazil in the last 8 on penalties to reach the semifinals.
On the other hand, Morocco has never lost since the group phase to the quarter-finals. The Atlas Lions team even humiliated top European teams such as Belgium, Spain and Portugal. This result shows that Morocco’s performance is extraordinary and can surprise opponents.
