The two defensive standouts of Group F will meet one more time in the World Cup for a third place match. Croatia and Morocco were unable to book their spot in the 2022 final but will still be playing for pride (and some extra cash) in Saturday’s third place match. Here are the opening odds for this contest courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Croatia vs. Morocco moneyline odds (regular time)
Croatia: +135
Draw: +235
Morocco: +215
Early pick: Draw +235
These teams played to a 0-0 draw in their opening match of the World Cup group stage and nothing throughout their semifinal run suggests they’re going to change their approach. The draw comes in at excellent value here and these teams are familiar with each other, so they should be competitive in this contest.
Croatia vs. Morocco odds to win third place match
Croatia: -140
Morocco: +115
Early pick: Morocco +115
In a game that could once again go to a penalty shootout, the Atlas Lions cap off their tournament on a high with a third place finish and a win over one of two teams they did not beat in the tournament.
