Before making any Morocco vs. Croatia picks or World Cup 2022 predictions, you need to see what SportsLine's soccer simulation model has to say.
The SportsLine soccer simulation model evaluates a team's offensive and defensive capabilities based on the game situation. Then, it assigns a grade using an expected payout-to-probability ratio. The model was accurate on 56% of all picks during the Champions League group stage and returned more than $1,000 to $100 bettors on its A+ picks. It also entered the World Cup semifinals on a 33-15-4 run on spread picks, returning almost $1,500 for $100 bettors. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.
The model knows Croatia has scored a total of six goals in the tournament, with four coming in a group-stage victory against Canada. Forward Andrej Kramaric leads the team with two tallies, both of which came versus the Canadians, while winger Ivan Perisic has recorded a goal and two assists. Croatia hopes to have Marcelo Brozovic available after the midfielder exited the loss to Argentina with muscle tightness.
The model also has considered that Morocco has had even more difficulty producing goals, recording only five over six matches. Forward Youssef En-Nesyri leads the club with two, including the lone tally in the 1-0 quarterfinal victory against Portugal. The Moroccans were exceptional on defense prior to their semifinal defeat, allowing just an own goal in their first five contests.
Now, the model has taken an in-depth look at the Croatia vs. Morocco match from every angle. It is leaning Under on the total, and it says one side of the money line has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any 2022 World Cup picks.
