MOROCCO v CROATIA
MOROCCO
Morocco came through the African qualifying stages with ease keeping up a 100% record in the group stages before a convincing 5-2 aggregate win over DR Congo in the playoff. Morocco took part in the AFCON finals this year where they were beaten in the quarter-finals by Egypt.
Morocco warmed up for this tournament with a 3-0 victory over Georgia last week and they are now on a 7 match unbeaten streak.
CROATIA
Croatia lost just 1 of their 10 qualification matches and booked their spot in the final by topping the group with 7 wins and 2 draws making up their 10 games. Their last major Championship was Euro 2021 where they went out in the round of 16 to Spain.
Croatia played Saudi Arabia in a friendly last week edging the contest 1-0.

Morocco 29/10
Draw 9/4
Croatia 11/10
Suggested Bet: Morocco win at 29/10
The majority of punters feel that Senegal are the pick of the Africa teams, but I am in the Morocco camp. They have had an excellent build up to the World Cup and I think they can stun Croatia in the opener.

BELGIUM v CANADA
BELGIUM
Belgium finished top of their qualification group with 6 wins and 2 draws in 8 matches. A lot was expected from them in Euro 2021 and they started promisingly before going out to Italy in the quarters.
Belgium played a warm-up game against Egypt last week losing 2-1 and despite been a friendly, Belgium were trading at 9/20 favourites to win the game before it kicked off.
CANADA
Canada topped their qualification group ahead of Mexico, USA and Costa Rica winning just over 50% of their matches.
The Canadians have played two friendly matches in recent weeks beating Japan 2-1 and drawing 2-2 with Bahrain.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides have yet to meet in an International match.

Belgium 8/15
Draw 7/2
Canada 11/2
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 2-0 Belgium at 13/2
I think that Canada can give a good account of themselves here, but at the end of the day Belgium will be too strong. Nothing stands out for me in the traditional betting markets that I play so I am going to go for a rare Correct Score pick here.
