Argentina – Croatia World Cup Prediction

The second day of the World Championship is extremely exciting, with a long list of races that could set fire to dust and set the stage for some sensational surprise.

In the framework of Group D, the second round of games offers the clash between Argentina, stopped in the first race from Iceland, and Croatia, in turn victorious over Nigeria.

The race, which will take place at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, boasts four precedents, with Argentina leading two wins to one. Between the two statements there is also the one obtained at the 1998 World Cup, when Mauricio Pineda gave the three points to the Albiceleste.

Argentina

For Argentina the debut did not go as expected. Faced with an Iceland as usual square, Messi and teammates have shown obvious problems in the defensive department and in the middle of the field, where players are unable to jump the man and create dangers.

In this context, even for the Flea the task becomes very complicated, as the opposing defenses can focus on him, constantly doubling the marking. Then when the ace Blaugrana is not in the day and the penalty is wrong, as happened with Iceland, Argentina is likely to get late at night.
Probable Training

Caballero; Tagliafico, Otamendi, Rojo, Salvio; Mascherano, Biglia; Of Mary, Messi, Meza; Aguero.

Croatia

Croatia is preparing for the challenge with Argentina in absolute serenity. In case the race ended positively, for Modric and his companions the doors of the knockout phase would open. In the opposite case there will be an appeal test against Iceland.

There is a lot of curiosity about the Croatian team, perhaps underestimated on the eve, but able to express a very high technical level, in addition to an enviable cohesion. Much will depend on the ability to limit Messi: if the cage prepared for the purpose should be held, for Croatia the risks would be reduced significantly
Probable Training

Subasic; Vrsaliko, Vida, Lovren, Strinic; Modric, Rakitic; Perisic, Brozovic, Rebic; Manduzkic.

Prediction Argentina – Croatia

The match that will be staged at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is open to any solution. Argentina continues to show serious problems in defense and in midfield, but its attack is able to solve every game. Croatia, on the other hand, possesses that equilibrium that seems unknown to the men of Sampaoli for now. It remains to be seen if he can resist Messi’s flashes of genius.
