Meanwhile, Croatia has one of the best squads in the world, thus, the side is expected to fight for the gold medals of this Mundial with such a roster. “Vatreni” had no problems at the group stage, nevertheless, the team won the latest battle against Denmark only by penalty shoot-out due to the phenomenal performance of Danijel Subasic. In the latest tackles Croatia earned 0:0 draw against Denmark, beat Iceland 2:1 and thrashed Argentina 3:0.
Croatia has not failed any of its three head-to-heads against Russia so far. At this point it’s rather difficult to give an advantage to either of the sides as there are no weak rivals at this stage, still, “Vatreni” look better prepared.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to win.
