Whether you love or hate the third place match, there will still be plenty on the line when Croatia and Morocco face off in the fixture at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Croatia fell one step short of reaching consecutive finals when they were beaten 3-0 by a rampant Argentina side.
A win for the Vantreni this weekend would equal their second-best performance at the World Cup, matching their third place finish at the 1998 tournament in France.

On the other hand, Morocco battled valiantly in their semifinal but conceded at the start and end of the match, losing 2-0 to reigning champions France.
The Atlas Lions have already secured their best-ever World Cup finish, trumping their previous Round of 16 effort in 1986.
Notably, Croatia and Morocco have already faced each other in Qatar, with the two nations playing out a 0-0 draw in their opening Group F clash.
With their big game experience, Croatia arguably comes into the third place clash as narrow favourites, but Morocco, as they have proven this tournament, will be no pushovers.
