Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Croatia vs Belgium

Croatia

The Croatian national team in the first round of the World Cup failed to beat the team of Morocco, and the game of the Zlatko Dalic team left conflicting feelings. The composition of the Croatian national team allows it to play on equal terms against the best teams in the world, so in the match against Belgium, the fans are clearly waiting for the improvement in the quality of football from their favorites.

The fight in the third round will be decisive for the Croatian national team at the World Cup in Qatar, which means that the team players must demonstrate great desire and motivation. It is difficult to say what tactics the coaching staff will choose for this match, but the Croats will definitely not sit out all 90 minutes in defense.

Belgium

The Belgian national team also did not please their fans with a good performance in the first round, modestly beating the Canadians with a score of 1:0. Nevertheless, the Red Devils have confirmed the status of the group favorite and rightly expect to reach the playoffs of the World Championship from the first place.

The composition of the Belgian national team can be safely called one of the most stellar at this World Cup, but so far the team clearly lacks teamwork. In future matches, the Belgian national team should also expect stronger performances, because this team has a serious attacking potential.
