Croatia to Win
Croatia are having a great run of form and won seven of their previous ten fixtures in all competitions. Croatia have won five of their last eight games played at the World Cup dating back to the 2018 competition in Russia.
Croatia 0 Goal Handicap
In their last ten fixtures, Croatia lost just once and covered the 0 goal handicap in none of them. Belgium on the other side lost three of their last four games including their last game in the World Cup.
Kramaric to Score Anytime
Usually when a player scores in a game he gains confidence and is the favorite to score in the next game. We have a couple of examples from that with Valencia and Mbappe. Hence, we predict Kramaric to score anytime.
Preliminary Review Match Prediction and Statistics for Croatia vs Belgium
Croatia
Croatia played one of their best games for a while and beat Canada 4-1 in the second round of Group F proceedings. The Blazers are now leading the group with four points from two games and need a draw to secure a place in the knockout stage.
Manager Zlatko Dalic’s team dominated the game after going down in the second minute of the game. Croatia’s attacking power was on show in this game with the Blazers hitting the target ten times. Still, the mission is not accomplished as Dalic’s men need to overcome Belgium whom they have not beaten in three games but are certainly in better form in this World Cup.

Belgium
This was the third time in a row that Belgium faced an African Arabic team in the World Cup group stages. After beating Algeria and Tunisia in the previous two, Belgium failed heavily against Morocco and are in real danger of leaving the tournament on Thursday.
Despite having more ball possession with 67%, the Red Devils looked very vulnerable at the back allowing the Moroccans 11 goal attempts of which four were on goal. Coach Martinez’s team looks like a shadow of the team he had in 2018 in Russia when they finished the group stage with nine points. Belgium need a similar form to overcome Croatia.
Croatia vs Belgium Prediction
This will be one of the most interesting clashes on matchday three between two of the best teams in Europe. Despite drawing in their first game with Morocco, Croatia are playing much better than Belgium and we predict that the Red Devils will grab all three points in this one.
Safe Bet
Three of the last five games played by Croatia saw both teams score. The same trend happened in Belgium’s three of their last four games. With odds of 1.78 at 1XBet, we predict both teams will score in this game.
