Croatia vs Belgium FIFA World Cup 2022: Prediction, H2H preview, and line-ups
Croatia vs Belgium FIFA World Cup 2022: Prediction, H2H preview, and line-ups
Croatia vs. Belgium will be the third meeting between these two teams. Croatia is comfortably ahead with four points. While they drew a goallessdraw with Morocco in Group F, they crushed Canada 4-1. Belgium ranked second in the FIFA rankings, defeating Canada 1-0 while losing 0-2 to Morocco.
Croatia form
Although they would prefer to forget their disappointing draw against Morocco and focus on the challenges ahead, Croatia, who came into the competition as one of the favourites to advance to the next round, appears to be in good shape. Croatia has a stable goal differential (+3), so if Morocco wins their match against Canada, they may be able to advance to the next round even with a draw.
Belgium form
Belgium has not lived up to the fans' expectations. As a highly-ranked team, they managed a narrow victory over Canada and an unexpected loss to Morocco. If Roberto Martnez's team loses this game, they will be eliminated from the tournament. Similarly, a win will see them through. They can advance to the next round even if they draw, as long as Morocco loses to Canada by a larger margin. But that would leave a lot to chance.
