Argentina takes on the visitors Croatia at “Nizhny Novgorod Stadium” in the matchday two of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The game will be played in Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday, June 21st.
It’s not clear what happened to Argentine, but the draw against Iceland has broken all the team’s plans for the tournament. In order to promote further from the first place in Group D, “La Albiceleste” must beat Croatia in the forthcoming clash. The side has great attack and midfielders while defense is another point, thus, the main reason for losing points in the previous battle was a wrong tactic. As two key defenders looked weak, the whole team looked unbalanced. Taking in to account that even the Icelanders had enough chances to score more goals to Argentina, I believe the Croatians would have used some chances which Iceland had failed to.

Meanwhile, Croatia is not able to defend as compact as the Icelanders can plus the visitors cannot stay for 85 minutes of football in their penalty box. Therefore, the Croatians will definitely create free zones and angry Lionel Messi will penetrate there for sure. At the same time “Vatreni” may afford themselves to be on the second pole as they beat Nigeria 2:0, having proved that they have enough high class and strength. In addition, the South American’s defense may crack in counter attacks.
I believe Croatia is quite able to score a goal or even two as Argentina will be forced to go forth. Thus, I would expect for the hosts’ poor performance in defense.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to score.
