Argentina – Croatia World Cup Tips

“La Albiceleste” disappointed supporters

Argentina’s national team, the world vice-champion, debuted with his left at the World Cup in Russia, after finishing 1-1 with Iceland. South Africa’s goal was scored by Sergio Agüero in the 19th minute, while Alfreð Finnbogason scored for the Europeans in the 23rd minute. The FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi missed a penalty in the 64th minute and defeated Hannes Þór Halldórsson. The Group D game took place in Moscow on “Otkritie Arena”, where 44,190 spectators attended. The team used by Jorge Sampaoli: 23. Wilfredo Caballero – 18. Eduardo Salvio, 17. Nicolas Otamendi, 16. Marcos Rojo, 3. Nicolás Tagliafico – 14. Javier Mascherano, 5. Lucas Biglia (7. Éver Banega, 54) – 13 Maximiliano Meza (9. Gonzalo Higuaín, 84), 10. Lionel Messi (captain), 11. Ángel Di María (22. Cristian Pavon, 75) – 19. Sergio Agüero.

Argentina wants to avoid France in eighth

There will be an important match with Croatia, which Argentina will only tackle in victory, to try to go first in the standings. It will not be easy for the Argentinians to win because the opponent has many top players, being much over Iceland. “La Albiceleste” is forced to beat Croatia and finish first, otherwise it is likely to meet France in the finals. With 4 points after 4 matches, Jorge Sampaoli’s team would be much quieter, especially as the last match in the group will be with Nigeria, a modest team. The Argentine press criticized the players after being equalized with Icelanders, so Di María, Messi, Agüero and Higuaín are expected to be more focused on Thursday in the dispute with the Croats.

Probable Team of Argentina: Caballero – Mercado, Otamendi, Tagliafico – Salvio, Mascherano, Pérez, Acuña – Messi – Pavón, Agüero

“Vatreni” won without forcing Nigeria

Croatian representative national team of Nigeria defeated without force, 2-0, on “Kaliningrad Stadium” in Kaliningrad, in front of 32,000 spectators in Group D of the World Cup in Russia. Croatia won Oghenekaro Etebo’s own goal (32) and Luka Modrić’s (71) penalty. It was a match without a history, because Africans had a very modest performance. Dalic used Zlatko team: 23 Danijel SubaSic – 2 šime vrsaljko 21. Domagoj Vida, 6. Dejan Lovren, Ivan foreign 3. – 7. Ivan Rakitić 10. Luka Modrić (master) – ante rebić 18. (8 . Mateo Kovac 78), 9. Andrej Kramar (Marcelo Brozović 11, 60), 4. Ivan Perišić – 17. Mario Mandžukić (Marko Pjaca 20, 86).

Croatia is not afraid of Argentina

Croatia has 3 points after the first World Championship match, being in the chart. If they manage to get a point with Argentina, the Croats will take a big step towards the finals. They want to take advantage of the good morale they have after their success with Nigeria and the fact that Argentina does not seem to be too good to win the group. It will be a great deal to think if Zlatko Dalić’s team meets France or Denmark / Australia / Peru. The Croatian Lot is full of stars, so there is no reason to fear Argentina.

Argentina will play with 3 defenders

Argentina – Croatia is the derby of Group D and normally both teams should qualify for the finals. Apparently, selector Jorge Sampaoli will make some changes in the first eleven and will move from 1-4-2-3-1 to 1-3-4-1-2, with Lionel Messi in the center of the offensive and the summits Cristian Pavón and Sergio Agüero. So we will see an offensive Argentina, who will bet everything on the attack book. The selector Zlatko Dalić will use the same game system, 1-4-2-3-1, with which he will try not to lose to the South Americans. Domagoj Vida, Dejan Lovren, Marcelo Brozovic, Luka Modrić and Ivan Rakitić will take the lead on this game because they will have to stop the Argentinean attacks. The squad of the Europeans was left without Nikola Kalinić, AC Milan’s striker being sent home by the winner Zlatko Dalić after he refused to enter the match with Nigeria.

Croatia’s probable team: Subašić – Vrsaljko, Lovren, Vida, Strinić – Rakitić, Brozovic – Perišić, Modrić, Rebić – Mandžukić
