Croatia v Morocco, Saturday 3pm
TV: BBC One, RTÉ 2
Phil Thompson is BANG IN FORM coming into the end of the World Cup. It’s taken a month to find our two finalists in Qatar, but Thommo was ahead of the game all along, after correctly backing France and Argentina to make it to Sunday’s showpiece in a mega Paddy Power turbo-charged 33/1 punt.
PHIL THOMPSON’S WORLD CUP WINNERS
- Argentina & France To Make The Final – Won @ 33/1
- France To Win 2-0 (v Morocco) – Won @ 5/1
- Cody Gakpo (1st Goalscorer) v Qatar – Won @ 4/1
- Ivan Perisic (Anytime Goalscorer) v Japan – Won @ 3/1
- Netherlands & Argentina Double – Won @ 2/1
- England To Win & Kane To Score (v Senegal) – Won @ 7/4
Thommo’s not done there, though. Here’s his punts for the starter to Sunday’s mail meal – Croatia v Morocco in the third-place play-off. Take it away, Phil..
Morocco to win
This is going to be a difficult one for both teams. Morocco have a lot of injuries – Romain Saiss coming off the pitch in that semi-final, I don’t even know how he got onto the pitch. Morocco have the advantage of a huge support at the tournament dragging them on.
Croatia, especially that midfield trio of Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic have been brilliant. But will they have the heart, the motivation to get through this one? I don’t think so. That’s where Morocco are going to come out on top of a very, very close game.
Both teams to score – No
Both these sides have been on the more defensive side of things haven’t they? Morocco only conceded a few goals in the whole tournament, so I can’t see that changing in this one.

Youssef En-Nesyri to score Anytime
Morocco have had a couple of surprising stars at this World Cup. Achraf Hakimi and Sofiane Boufal we knew already but the likes of Azzedine Ounahi and Youssef En-Nesyri have been brilliant as well. I reckon En-Nesyri could be the difference maker in this game.
Under 2.5 Goals
A low-scoring game this one. Croatia got to a semi-final, but were probably lucky enough to get there overall. They don’t offer much going forward at all and despite the best efforts of the little magic-man Modric in midfield, I don’t think they’ll create many chances in this game.
