Third Place Playoff

Croatia v Morocco

Marcelo Brozovic is a big doubt for Croatia having come off at the 50-minute mark against Argentina with a muscle problem. Young centre back Josko Gvardiol has been playing with painkilling injections so may not be risked, while Josip Joranovic has a calf issue. Josip Sutali, Lovro Majer and Kristijan Jakic are among the potential replacements.

Morocco rolled the dice with injured trio Noussair Mazraoui, Romain Saiss and Nayef Aguerd in the semi-final loss to France, and none of them completed the game. It leaves them tread bear at the back heading into this contest. Walid Cheddira returns from his 1-game suspension.

WIN Croatia @ $2.38*

*Odds correct as at 9am, 17th December 2022.
