Croatia take on the visitors Belgium in the round 3 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Thursday, November 1st at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium (Al Rayyan).
The Belgian team is one of the main disappointments at the World Cup in Qatar so far. To reach the playoffs of the World Cup, the Red Devils need to beat the Croatian national team, which, unlike Belgium itself, has already shown its power in the last match of the tournament. The Croatian national team is leading in Group G after two matches. Luka and Modric and his teammates have 4 points. Even a draw in the battle with Belgium guarantees "checkers" access to the 1/8 finals of the Qatari World Cup. However, only a victory in the final match of the group will allow Croatia to secure first place in the group and advance to the second team from Group E. The Croatian national team has an excellent series of eight matches without defeat before the decisive match of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. The team of Zlatko Dalic took six victories with two draws. After a goalless draw against Morocco, Croatia beat Canada 4-1.

The Belgian national team had a disgusting performance in both of their matches in the group stage of the World Cup. The “Red Devils” completely out of business won against the Canadian team, losing outright to the North Americans in the game. In the second match, the team of Roberto Martinez lost to Morocco 0:2. Terrible defensive play and blunders by Thibaut Courtois put Belgium in a very difficult position. Now only a victory over Croatia guarantees the Red Devils a place in the playoffs. For the Belgian national team, 2022 is generally a difficult year. The team of Roberto Martinez has already lost four matches in the calendar year. Including suffered three defeats in the last four games.
Eight times the football roads of the national teams of Croatia and Belgium crossed. The teams beat each other three times, and two more meetings ended in a draw. The opponents met twice in qualifying tournaments for the World Championships, and once for the selection for the Euro. But in the final tournaments they will play for the first time. The teams of Croatia and Belgium have approximately equal chances of success in the match, from the point of view of the bookmakers. The victory of the "checkers" is estimated at 2.78 against 2.63 for the success of the "red devils". You can bet on a draw for 3.48. Objectively, the Croatian national team at the 2022 World Cup looks better than Belgium, and deserves to reach the playoffs. The " checkers " will try to win this meeting and take first place in the group, avoiding a potential match with Spain in the 1/8 finals.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to win with 0.0 handicap.
