Group F Fixtures

With all eyes falling on Qatar when they open proceedings on November 20th as they meet Ecuador on an emotional afternoon for the host nation, Belgium and the rest of Group F will have to wait a little while longer before they get their World Cup campaigns underway.

It will be Morocco and Croatia who have the privilege of opening Group F when they face off on November 23rd in Lusail. Belgium will also be hoping to lay down their own marker when they meet Canada later in the day at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

Listed below can be found a full round-up of all the Group F fixtures:

December 1st, 2022:

With Belgium making it clear that they have their sights set on clinching top spot in Group F, the Red Devils will undoubtedly have one eye focused on a stacked Group E.

Expected to cruise their way to the knockout stage, it has already been confirmed that the winner of Group F will be set for a showdown against the runner up in Group E on December 5th. However, it appears almost certain that Belgium are set for a real battle against either Spain or Germany.

Likewise, if Croatia are to secure a silver medal finish and book their spot in the Round of 16, then a likely showdown against either of the former world champions would take place on December 4th.

 

Group F: A Look at the Nations

Before the first ball in Group F is kicked, we want to make sure that you have all the crucial pre-tournament information. We have searched through all the vital statistics for this year’s World Cup betting, whether that is a BTTS market or correct score.

 

Belgium

While Belgium might have made the trip out to Russia back in 2018 with their sights set on lifting a first world crown, the Red Devils were frustrated to have eventually settled for a bronze medal finish.

Nevertheless, although there might have been plenty of speculation over the past couple of years that Roberto Martínez could be on his way out, the ex-Wigan boss still finds himself in charge of the European giants.

However, unbeaten in each of their eight qualifying appearances and cruising their way to Qatar, it is no secret that this could be the last chance for Belgium’s superstars to live up to their full potential.

Despite signing off their pre-World Cup preparations with a 1-0 loss away against Holland during September’s international break, Martinez does have a host of European-based icons at his disposal.

Spearheaded by the likes of Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku and Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne, Belgium will be looking to lay down an early marker in the Middle East come November.

 

Belgium Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 2

World Cup Appearances: 13

Highest Finish: 3 (2018)

Manager: Roberto Martínez

Captain: Eden Hazard

Star Player: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

 

Croatia

Although Croatia might have found themselves enduring a rather public struggle 16 months ago, the Blazers have bounced back in an eye-catching fashion and will travel to Qatar with the mood in their camp at a high.

Reaching the final out in Russia four years ago and shocking almost everyone across the footballing world, Zlatko Dalic’s men will be looking to spring another major World Cup upset this time around.

Claiming top spot while on European qualifying duties earlier in the year and suffering just a single defeat from their 10 appearances, there is no doubt that Croatia will be looking to find a route out of Group F.

Continuing on an impressive rise up the FIFA standings and booking their spot in the knockout stage of the Nations League during September’s international break, Dalic’s squad also hold a couple of heavyweight names.

Including former Ballon d’Or winner and Real Madrid ace Luka Modric, Croatia will also have the likes of Chelsea’s Mateo Kovacic in their World Cup squad.

 

Croatia Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 12

World Cup Appearances: 5

Highest Finish: 2 (2018)

Manager: Zlatko Dalic

Captain: Luka Modric

Star Player: Luka Modric (Real Madrid)

 

Morocco

Although Morocco might have ended their 16-year absence from the world stage out in Russia four years ago, the Atlas Lions failed to impress and limped out at the group stages without making much of an impact.

However, laying down a pre-tournament marker during September’s international break as they picked up a shock victory against South American outfit Chile, Walid Regragui’s side could be quietly smelling the chance to spring an upset in Qatar.

While Morocco might have had to settle for a quarter final finish at the Africa Cup of Nations this year, they are widely regarded to be among the most compelling nations from across the African continent.

Failing to reach the knockout stage since their famous adventure during Mexico’s 1986 World Cup finals, Regragui will undoubtedly be calling on PSG superstar Achraf Hakimi to lead their charge in November.

Alongside one-time Southampton winger Sofaine Boufal, Hakimi will be the most important player in a Morocco side that are hoping for a better display than they managed four years ago.

 

Morocco Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 22

World Cup Appearances: 5

Highest Finish: Round of 16 (1986)

Manager: Walid Regragui

Captain: Romain Saïss

Star Player: Achraf Hakimi (PSG)

 

Canada

While Canada might have found themselves tipped as a dark horse pick to punch their World Cup ticket just 12 months ago, John Herdman’s men deserve plenty of praise for an impressive rise.

Now sat within touching distance of breaking back into the top 40 of the FIFA rankings, the Maple Leafs are also preparing for their first World Cup appearance in 36 years.

Not seen on the world stage since their exploits at the Mexico finals in 1986, Canada caught the imagination of many as they finally clinched their spot in Qatar thanks to a 4-0 romp against Jamaica back in March.

Although Herdman’s men might know they face a huge challenge if they’re to find a shock route out of Group F, the Reds do have a couple of superstar names among their ranks.

Along with Bayern Munich’s versatile defender Alphonso Davies, Canada also have Lille marksman Jonathan David leading their charge in the Middle East.

 

Canada Statistics:

FIFA World Ranking: 41

World Cup Appearances: 1

Highest Finish: Group Stage (1986)

Manager: John Herdman

Captain: Atiba Hutchinson

Star Player: Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich)
