It’s Argentina meet Croatia at Lusail Stadium in Semi-Final on Tuesday 13 December.
First team: Argentina WLWWWD
Argentina comes into this encounter after a World Cup match against Netherlands that ended in a draw at 2-2.
Argentina had 47% of the ball during that game and attempted 11 goals, four of which were successful. Nahuel Molina and Lionel Messi scored the goals for Argentina, respectively (35′ and 73′). The Netherlands had 6 shots on goal at the other end, with 2 of them going in. Netherlands’ Wout Weghorst scored two goals (83 and 90). In an exciting penalty shootout, Argentina prevailed 4-3 to win the game.
In their last six games, Argentina hasn’t been able to stop scoring, scoring every time they’ve taken the field.
In that time, they’ve scored 14, while also giving up a total of 5.
Second team: Croatia WDWDDD
Previously, Croatia and Brazil drew 1-1 in their World Cup match.
Croatia had 50% of the possession in that game and 8 shots on goal, with 1 of those going in. Bruno Petkovi scored the goal for Croatia (117′). Brazil, on the other hand, had 19 shots total, with 10 of those being on goal. The goal for Brazil was scored by Neymar (105′). Croatia prevailed in a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout.
Fewer than three goals have separated Croatia and their opponents in five of the previous six meetings. The overall average of goals scored during that time span was just 1.67, with Vatreni scoring an average of 1.17 each game. We’ll keep an eye on this to see if the pattern continues.

Team news: Argentina
It seems likely that La Albiceleste should make use of the 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising Emiliano Martinez, Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Nicolas Tagliafico, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Rodrigo De Paul, Angel Di Maria, Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez.
Team news: Croatia
We reckon that Vatreni will likely make use of a 4-3-3 system with a starting lineup of Dominik Livakovic, Josip Juranovic, Josko Gvardiol, Dejan Lovren, Borna Sosa, Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic, Mario Pasalic, Andrej Kramaric and Ivan Perisic.
Prediction:
We believe Croatia can score against this Argentina lineup, but it might not be enough to prevent a defeat.
We predict that Argentina will win this match by a score of 2-1. We’ll just have to wait and see.
