Morocco vs Croatia – After an outstanding qualifying campaign and a solid run of outcomes over the previous couple of years, Morocco entered the tournament in Qatar with high expectations.

For the Atlas Lions, the opening game against Croatia is of utmost importance. A victory here might pave the path for the knockout round.

Just before the World Cup, the Moroccans hired local coach Walid Regragui to succeed Vahid Halilhodzic as manager.

Players like Hakim Ziyech, Amine Harit, Youssef En-Nesyri, Sofiane Boufal, Naif Ahuerd, Noussair Mazraoui, and Achraf Hakimi are among Regragui’s talented squad members.

In the rematch of the African WC Qualification playoffs, Morocco destroyed the Democratic Republic of the Congo 4-1. They were, however, eliminated from the African Cup of Nations in the quarterfinal, losing 2-1 to Egypt.

On the other side, Croatia, which unexpectedly made the final in Russia four years ago, might once more be one of the tournament’s underdogs.

The Zlatko Dalic-led team overcame recent challenges to win both their UEFA Nations League division and their European WC Qualification group.

The Croats stood out in the most recent Nations League matches, winning four straight games to claim first place in their respective group.

Dalic’s team has a strong midfield that includes players like Marcelo Brozovic, Luka Modric, and Mateo Kovacic. At EURO 2020, Croatia also advanced to the round of 16, but lost to Spain after extra time (3-5).
