Storylines

Croatia: A team that has a huge mix of veterans over the age of 30 and young pups looking to make some noise. The pair of Domagoj Vida and Dejan Lovren — both 33-year-olds — lead the defense, while five of the defenders are under the age of 24, including highly-rated RB Leipzig man Joska Gvardiol. Luka Modric commands the middle, Marcelo Brozovic and Matto Kovacic figure to join him, and up top they need to find a guy to replace Mario Mandzukic. Bruno Petkovic of Dinamo Zagreb is one to watch.

Morocco: An interesting team with some undoubtedly fine talent but more questions than answers. In goal, Bono is reliable and can change a game. Achraf Hakimi has elite speed and ability, but where else will they get production? Sofyan Amrabat shows flashes, but he hasn’t been overly convincing for the national team. Hakim Ziyech has not been in form at Chelsea, but he will be relied on heavily to combine with Youssef En-Nesyri in attack. If a guy like Hakimi can fine that form he showed at Ajax, then Morocco can make noise.

Prediction

The Croatians, led by Modric, get off to a fast start with a impressive win where they dominate the ball and the chances. Pick: Croatia 2, Morocco 0
