Morocco vs. Croatia prediction
– Moneyline lean: Draw (+220)
– Against the spread lean: Morocco +0.5 (-130)
– Score prediction: Morocco 0-0 Croatia
Both these teams have excellent qualities throughout their squads, but the talent that most stands out is on the defensive end.
Croatia will have the ball, but they have recently had difficulties producing a lot of chances in Nations League games, and they will struggle against a well-organized Moroccan defensive line.
