Argentina vs Croatia Prediction & Betting tips
The first semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 will be played on Tuesday evening from 19:00, between Argentina and Croatia. The match is expected to be very hot from now on, considering the atmosphere in the camps of the two teams. Up to this moment, the two teams have met four times, the score being 2-2 in the direct confrontations between the two teams. The most recent match took place at the final tournament in 2018 in the groups when Croatia won with a score of 3-0, managing to reach the final, which they lost to France.
Argentina:
Argentina has the chance to mark a new World Cup final in less than 20 years, after losing the 2010 final against Germany in extra time 1-0. Until this moment, Argentina had an almost perfect course, the only syncopation being char in the debut match when they lost the match against Saudi Arabia, a match that they controlled in the first half and partially and in the second half. But the best match for Argentina was the quarter-final against the Netherlands, which was decided on penalty kicks. Argentina led in this match with 2-0, but in the last ten minutes it was tied. In overtime, however, Argentina was still the better team, but the match was decided on the kicks from the penalty spot, where the hero was Emiliano Martinez.
Croatia:
On the other hand, Croatia’s presence in the semifinals is considered a surprise, because in the groups it did not play very well and only took 2nd place, after Morocco, the surprise of this competition so far. Even in the round of 16 with Japan, Croatia did not play a very good game, needing kicks from 11m to qualify further. The match with a very heavy load was the quarter-final against Brazil, where Croatia also played a very good game and qualified after the kicks from 11m.
