The two teams with the best chances of advancing from Group F to the Round of 16 are Croatia and Morocco. Belgium is also involved, although they are in a precarious position.
The “Group of Death” for the FIFA World Cup 2022 has actually been revealed to be Group F. Croatia, the tournament’s runners-up in 2018, did well to earn 4 points from 2 games, while Morocco is currently in second place with 4 points as well. Only 3 points have been earned by Belgium in 2 games, with one defeat and one victory to their credit. The fourth-placed team, Canada, is already eliminated after failing to earn a single point in their first two games.
The favorites to advance from Group F going into the last round of games are Croatia and Morocco, while Belgium is playing on difficult terrain. Here is how the situation appears:
Croatia: The situation is straightforward for Luka Modric’s team when they face Belgium in their last group match. They would advance to the Round of 16 with a victory or a tie against Belgium. If Canada defeated Morocco in their final match, a loss would also suffice.
Morocco: In a position similar to Croatia’s, Morocco must defeat Canada or draw to ensure their entry into the round of 16. If Croatia lost to Belgium or drew with them in their previous encounter, a defeat would also be sufficient for them to advance.
Belgium: In order for Belgium to advance to the Round of 16, victory vs Croatia is all but necessary. If Canada defeats Morocco by at least a 4-goal margin, a draw may potentially be sufficient. They would be eliminated if they lost.
Canada: Has already been eliminated from Round of 16. They might then ruin the party for other people, though.
