Croatia vs Belgium Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

Prediction published on 29/11/2022, 08:00 by Ioannis | Modified on 01/12/2022 at 05:46 in World Cup Predictions

Croatia face off with Belgium in what should be a scintillating encounter in the final match day of Group F of the World Cup. Croatia cruised to a 4-1 win against Canada, exhibiting their elite quality after a lacklustre opening performance. Thus, they are through if they win or draw. Defeat would leave them needing eliminated Canada to overcome Morocco, in which case goal difference would be required to separate Zlatko Dalic's side from the Atlas Lions. Belgium on the other hand were disappointing in every aspect of their game against Morocco, justifiably succumbing to a 2-0 defeat. However, they will qualify for the Round of 16 with victory over Croatia and top the group should Morocco also fail to win. Defeat will see them knocked out. A draw will only be enough if Morocco are beaten by Canada, with goal difference then set to determine where the two sides finish in the group.

Croatia - Belgium: Form Analysis

Was it the raucous words of motivation by Canadian manager John Herdmann which backfired? Or did Croatia’s elite midfield line finally click into gear? In any case, Croatia had a point to prove and they very much succeeded in doing so. They were superb against Canada on Sunday evening, masterminding the perfect response to an early opening goal to run riot and secure a much needed 4-1 victory. Modric made the midfield his own on the night, Kramaric scored a brace and Livaja was a constant threat, with the general feeling being that Croatia could have scored many more. It is now eight games unbeaten for Dalic’s men, who have emerged victorious in six of those. On the downside, they have lost three of their last five meetings against Belgium. With regards to the Red Devils, Kevin De Bruyne’s infamous comment about them being “too old” to be World Cup contenders hit a different note after their poor showing against Morocco. Lambasted even before kick off for exhibiting a defeatist attitude, the Belgians’ timid performance throughout their encounter did little to prove him wrong, with rumours of a heated locker room altercation after the game serving to add to their woes. Desperately failing to break down Morocco’s stubborn defensive line, they did not manage to hold their own and fell to the Moroccans’ expertly taken set pieces to put their qualification chances in serious doubt. The also put an end to an impressive thirteen game unbeaten World Cup group stage run. Belgium have now lost three of their last four international games, scoring just twice in the process.

Croatia & Belgium Squad Analysis

When Luka Modric is in form, Croatia are unstoppable. The midfield maestro staged another world class performance at the grandest of games, showing the way for Zlatko Dalic’s men after an inauspicious start to the game against Canada. Kramaric also proved his point after being doubted in the tournament’s opener, scoring a brace while he could have found a third. For Belgium, too many of their players were underperforming on Sunday evening. Most notably, Thibaut Courtois had a night to forget, after failing to learn his lesson against Morocco’s free kick trickery, conceding an almost identical goal after the initial one was ruled offside. Kevin De Bruyne also had an uncharacteristically poor showing, misplacing passes that typical KDB would breeze through. Amadou Onana collected an early booking and will thus have to miss this game. Romelu Lukaku has played little part in the proceedings so far but Belgium will be hopeful he can make an impact in this crunch fixture.

Our Croatia vs Belgium Prediction

While both teams reached the semi finals in 2018, Croatia is doing much better at the moment, both form wise and morale wise. While they need just a draw to go through, we believe they will chase a victory over a disjointed Belgium side, which makes the Croatians’ win the value pick in this encounter.
