Croatia faces Morocco in the one World Cup match no team wants to contest, meeting in the third-place play-off on Saturday afternoon.

The 2018 finalists could not return to the showpiece in Qatar, slumping to a 3-0 defeat against Argentina on Tuesday. Morocco showed plenty of fight but struggled to convert their pressure into chances, let alone goals against France.

Both sides have met on two occasions, resulting in Croatia winning one against the Altas Lions and the spoils being shared in the other game.

Marcelo Brozovic was forced off at the start of the second half against Argentina with a twinge in his thigh muscle - an area which has sidelined the Inter midfielder for much of the Serie A campaign.

Morocco skipper Roman Saiss limped towards the centre circle for the opening coin toss of the semi-final against France before giving in to a hamstring injury after 20 minutes. Nayef Aguerd pulled out just before kick-off with a thigh problem and Noussair Mazraoui couldn't make it to the second half after nursing an illness and a hip issue.

Under 2.5 goals is tipped for the game at 1.90 odds.
