Croatia was held to a 0-0 draw vs. Morocco in its World Cup opener Wednesday. The 2018 runners-up almost broke the deadlock at the end of the 1st half with a close chance from M Nikola Vlasic.
Croatia has the 2nd-best odds to win Group F at +280, behind Belgium at -200.
Belgium G Thibaut Courtois denied Canada F Alphonso Davies from the penalty spot early in the 1st half as Belgium went on to defeat Canada 1-0 Wednesday. Canada moneyline was +500 in the CONCACAF member’s 1st World Cup match since 1986.
Canada’s odds to qualify from Group F are +250 for ‘Yes’ and -400 for ‘No.’

Prediction
Canada 1, Croatia 0
Moneyline (ML)
BET CANADA (+265).
Croatia struggled to create opportunities vs. Morocco, and it appears the 2018 runners-up have lost some of their edge offensively. As for their opponent, Canada was the better side Wednesday vs. Belgium despite what the score says. Canada is being undervalued in this spot, and I would take it ML as long as the number stays greater than +200.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-120).
Canada and Croatia both failed to score in their World Cup openers, and I don’t expect either side to suddenly put on an offensive showcase Sunday. This should be a physical, low-scoring match between 2 teams that are desperate to get their 1st win at the 2022 World Cup.
