Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Argentina vs Croatia
Argentina
Argentina’s quarter-final win over the Netherlands highlighted their best and worst qualities. After some Lionel Messi magic put them 2-0 ahead, the game descended into an ill-tempered affair before they held their nerve to win on penalties. Under pressure following their shock 2-1 group-stage defeat to Saudi Arabia, the Albiceleste battled their way through to the last four for the sixth time in their history.
When La Albiceleste get this far, they usually continue as they’ve never failed to reach the final after having reached the last four. As reigning Copa Ámerica champions, they’re hardened knock-out competitors. After one defeat across their last 41 matches (W30, D10) they’re just a game away from a sixth World Cup final.
Croatia
Runners-up four years ago, Croatia broke Brazilian hearts by beating the South Americans on penalties after a 1-1 draw to reach their third World Cup semi-final (W1, L1), proving again they are also masters of going the distance. They’ve won five of their last six World Cup knockout games after extra-time, four of them via a penalty shootout, meaning they possess a perfect World Cup penalty shootout record (W4).
“We are experienced and we are raised as fighters,” was how coach Zlatko Dalić explained Croatia’s ability to keep on digging deep against Brazil. “Only Croats can do that,” he added, although Argentina will have something to say about that as they look to avenge Croatia’s 3-0 group-stage H2H win four years ago that leveled up the overall H2H stakes (W2, D1, L2).

Argentina vs Croatia Prediction
Argentina seem to grow in confidence as the tournament progresses. Coach Scaloni has changed the style of play after the opening game loss as they are playing more balanced at the back. We think Messi is in the kind of form that it’s hard for his team to be beaten.
Safe Bet
Argentina scored two goals in each of their four previous four games in the World Cup and at least a goal in all five outings. With odds of 1.47 at 1XBet, we predict Argentina to score over one goal.
