Tonight, the World Cup third-place game is between Croatia and Morocco. Although the two teams have been playing defense in this tournament, the symbolic third place match, in which both sides unloaded their psychological burdens and were able to enjoy the joy of soccer, is expected to start an open attacking battle. According to statistics, 10 of the last 11 World Cup third-place matches have totaled three or more goals, so look for a median of 2.5 goals to score big.
Croatia's average age in this starting lineup is high, and captain Modi Li is over 37 years old. As a result, the team tends to adopt conservative tactics to conserve physical energy during the promotion process. When it comes to the third-place game, it is expected that coach Dali will carry out a large-scale rotation, so that the young replacement players will take the field, not only to enhance the team's vitality, but also to allow them to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup. These young players will surely give their best in order to fight for the top spot and try to score more goals to pave the way for their future careers.
Moroccan striker Annesley is strong
Although Morocco, known as the "African wonder", scored only 5 goals in this tournament, their game is not conservative, usually starting from the center of the field to press the opponent, and then launch a fast counterattack, very aggressive. Unfortunately, the ability to grasp the opportunity is a little weak, missed a lot of good opportunities to score. The team has exceeded its goal of reaching the quarterfinals, and the pressure on the players is relatively low tonight, which is conducive to improving the success rate of their shots. Among them, the striker Annesley, who plays for Xavier, has excellent shooting skills and heading ability, and he has contributed two goals in this tournament. Morocco is expected to break through the Croatian defense, and the two sides are expected to jointly stage a goal battle to conclude the World Cup trip.
