The runner-up of 2018, Croatia will start the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Morocco and Zlatko Dalic’s men are expected to be the favourites. They ran like a fairy tale in Russia in 2018 and will try to improve their performance this year by picking up the trophy they missed last time, despite everything to make it to the final.
Despite being in a tough group with Morocco, Belgium, Croatia and Canada, he still has a lot to play. This time they will want to take their first win and finish their 24th year. They have a great roster with some star-studded names, and given their form going into this tournament, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they advance to the next round.

2022 FIFA World Cup Croatia – Morocco: Preview and Team News
All players in the Croatian squad are currently in form and there are currently no reports of any injuries. All players are therefore expected to prepare for tomorrow’s match and start their World Cup campaign with a bang against Morocco. Croatian players will give all their time and hopefully a proper farewell to legendary midfielder Luka Modric, who will make his final World Cup appearance this year.
Morocco is expected to play a 4-2-3-1 formation in the castle with experienced Yassine Bounou. While the formerly quiet young duo of Achraf Hakimi and Mazraoui are in fullback, the team will have a lot of material from the flanks and will have to bring in their A-games to stop the Croatian attackers as well. Morocco currently does not have any injuries in the squad.
