Morocco and Croatia will want to get off to a winning start in Group F of the 2022 World Cup when the two teams meet at the Al-Bayt Stadium on Wednesday, with Belgium and Canada clashing on the same day in Group F.
The 2020 AFCON winners and world no. 22 ranked side qualified by topping their group and beating Congo in a play-off. They will be looking to better their performance from Russia 2018 when they finished bottom of a group containing Spain, Portugal and Iran.
Croatia were beaten finalists at the last World Cup and followed that up by making it to the Round of 16 at Euro 2020. They head into the competition in good form with five straight wins, including the recent friendly against Saudi Arabia besides UEFA Nations League victories over the likes of France and Austria.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi will feature at right-back with Noussair Mazraoui on the opposite side. The rest of the XI should resemble the side that beat Georgia 3-0 in a friendly last Thursday, with the exception of Sofyan Amrabat‘s likely return in midfield.
Captain Romain Saiss and Nayef Aguerd are likely to be the two centre-backs, while Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri will support Sofiane Boufal in attack.

With veteran Luka Modric and Chelsea Mateo Kovacic in midfield, Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic’s difficult decision will be choosing between Bruno Petkovic and Andrej Kramaric to join Ivan Perisic in attack.
Josip Stanisic is likely to start at right-back, while Dejan Lovren and Josko Gvardiol will feature in the heart of the defence, much like in the 3-1 win against Austria in September.
