Croatia vs Belgium 01.12.2022

In their last group tie against Belgium, Croatia will look to wrap up their first-round campaign on a winning note and finish off as Group F winners. Having started off with a barren draw against Morocco, Croatia reignited their tournament with a 4-1 win over Canada, giving them a huge advantage in the race for the knockout phase. With a win and 1 draw, the 2018 Runners-Up are top of the standings and will hope to deal a huge blow to the actualization of Belgium’s so-called golden generation’s dream.

For Belgium, things are not going exactly as anticipated. In their opening tie, they struggled to earn a 1-0 win over a resolute Canada side while they fell to a shock 2-0 defeat in the hands of Morocco in the second fixture. To avoid a group stage exit for the 6th time in their World Cup history, Martinez’s men must grind out a positive result here and hope things don’t go well for Morocco against Canada.

Given the crucial nature of this tie, we expect a feisty contest with the opening half ending in a draw
