Argentina vs Croatia Prediction

Argentina will be looking to avoid the same outcome as their previous encounter with Croatia. Argentina had the advantage in possession the previous time they faced Croatia, but they were inefficient when they had the ball, which they cannot afford in 2022. Back at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they were defeated 3-0 by Croatia in the group stages, which ultimately caused them to finish second in Group D. As a result, Argentina faced and lost to eventual champions France in the Round of 16, while Croatia was given an easier knockout stage route as they advanced to the final.

Argentina vs Croatia Lineup

Argentina finished with eight corners against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals. On the other side, during the 120 minutes of their quarterfinal, Croatia only secured three corners.
The major concern for Argentina going into this game will be Angel Di Maria’s fitness. The winger, 34, was only used as a last-second substitute against the Netherlands as he attempted to recover from a muscle injury sustained at the conclusion of the Round of 16 match against Australia. Prior to the Netherlands game, Rodrigo de Paul’s health was a concern, but he was able to play.

There are no notable injury concerns for Croatia going into this game. After suffering a facial injury during a gym practise, Mateo Kovacic caused concern prior to the quarterfinal game, but he was healthy enough to play. Despite suffering a muscular injury during the group stage, Nikola Vlasic is now healthy, and Marcelo Brozovic, who had a hamstring problem prior to the tournament, is now an important member of Croatia’s midfield. In Argentina’s victory over the Netherlands, players Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel received yellow cards, keeping them out of the semi-finals. On Croatia’s side, no players have been suspended.

Argentina possible starting lineup:
E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Fernandez, De Paul, Mac Allister; Di Maria, Messi, Alvarez

Croatia possible starting lineup:
Livakovic; Juranovic, Gvardiol, Lovren, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic
