Morocco vs Croatia: World Cup 2022 - Yahoo Sports
Romain Saiss will skipper the team and play alongside Nayef Aguerd in the middle of defence, while Youssef En-Nesyri will be supported by Hakim Ziyech in the final third. Meanwhile, Dalic is expected to opt for much of the Croatia team which begun the success over Austria in September, with Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic featuring in midfield as expected. Josip Stanisic appears in line to get the nod at right-back, with Dalic's biggest decision seemingly being who to start in attack out of Bruno Petkovic and Kramaric.

Croatia reached the final in Russia four years ago, led by their ageless captain Luka Modric. Zlatko Dalic’s side have continued to punch above their weight, and qualified for the Nations League finals this season. Morocco made their first appearance at a World Cup since 1998 in Russia, only to be knocked out in the group stages.
Croatia have lost their opening game in three of their five World Cup appearances, with the exceptions being 1998 (reached the semi-final) and 2018 (reached the final). Youssef En-Nesyri could become the first ever Moroccan player to score a goal in two different editions of the FIFA World Cup. He netted against Spain in 2018. Regragui will likely opt for much of the team which impressed in a 3-0 win over Georgia, some changes are expected with Sofyan Amrabat due to return in midfield. Noussair Mazraoui should deputise at left-back, with Achraf Hakimi a certainty on the opposite flank, and the star names in the team will keep their places elsewhere.
