Croatia and Morocco face off in the World Cup third-place play-off on Saturday afternoon.

Morocco have been the surprise package of the tournament in Qatar, with Walid Regragui’s men becoming the first African side to reach the semi-finals.

Hakim Ziyech and co, who lost 2-0 against France in their semi-final clash, can go one step further and secure third spot with a win.

Croatia were hoping to reach consecutive World Cup finals and a rematch from 2018 against France would have been on the cards if they hadn’t run into Argentina and Lionel Messi.

Messi dominated against Croatia in the semi-finals, with the PSG superstar scoring one and assisting two in a 3-0 victory.

Can Morocco secure third spot or will the tried and tested Croatia take the honour?

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Croatia v Morocco on TV and online.
