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.
