Croatia – Belgium, World Cup Prediction

🔝 Croatia quickly reminded of themselves after the boredom in the 1st game

Croatia didn’t play a particularly impressive game against Morocco, but they were quite well prepared tactically. Against Canada they started very badly after conceding a goal in the first minutes, but in the end they prevailed with dominance by 4-1, which makes them with 4 points and with good chances to qualify for the next round, but they must not lose their match against Belgium, because if that happens, they will most likely be out of the World Cup.

😐 The Belgians screwed up and now they’re on the verge of being eliminated

Belgium is not the most united team in the tournament right now for sure. Lots of bickering and squabbling in the team after the loss to Morocco. Moreover, there were riots in the country itself after the defeat, so this match is extremely important for the Red Devils and in any case they have to win it, otherwise they are out. The problem is that right now the team’s offense is pretty lackluster and they are slow on defense. Maybe because they are “old” as de Bruyne said.

⚽ Belgium will play on life and death but will hardly keep a clean sheet

Belgium should surely score at least a goal though, will be looking for the win. Of course, as I mentioned before, Croatia is fine with X, but they are not a team that will come out and defend, and they will try to take advantage of the opponent’s mistakes, because, in the end, 1st place matters too. And going for X in a World Cup game doesn’t seem like the best idea, as we saw with Ecuador vs Senegal. My prediction here is BTTS at 1.80.
