Croatia and Morocco lock horns for the second time at the 2022 Qatar World Cup - albeit with higher stakes this time than their group stage bore draw.
The pair met on Group F's opening game week, playing out a 0-0 which highlighted Morocco's resilience and led to talk about a perceived failure from Croatia to be as dominant as in previous tournaments. Of course, not many would have predicted that the two would face off again in the third-place playoff - especially Morocco, having failed to reach the knockout rounds in their World Cup history before, bar a last-16 loss in 1986.
However, with much on the line this time round, fans will have to endure at least a winner instead of enduring another stalemate as we saw just under a month ago. But where can you watch the action? football.london has you covered ahead of the World Cup match.
