As part of the match of the third round of the group stage of the World Cup, the players of the national teams of Croatia and Belgium will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this meeting? Our sports portal evaluates the forecast for this meeting.Croatia
The Croatian national team, along with Belgium, was one of the contenders to win the group.
It is worth noting that the "checkers" still manage to justify the status of one of the favorites of the quartet. The finalist of the last Mudial started the FIFA World Cup with a draw against Morocco (0:0), after which the Balkan team missed the first in the game with Canada, but managed to score four goals in response, defeating the North Americans with a score of 4:1. Such results allowed Croatia to rise to the first place in its group.Belgium
The Belgian team was considered the undisputed favorite of its group before the start of the tournament.
The team of Roberto Martinez played against Canada in the first match, and managed to defeat the opponent with a minimum score of 1:0. The opponent in that meeting had the opportunity to realize an 11-meter shot, but could not do it. In the match with Morocco, the Belgians had every chance to guarantee themselves a ticket to the playoffs, but the Red devils suffered a sensational defeat, allowing the opponent to win with a score of 2:0. This result did not become fatal, but significantly complicated the task of reaching the playoffs.Statistics and figures:
- The rivals have approximately equal chances of success;
- Croatia has 4 wins in 5 matches;
- Belgium lost 3 of the previous 5 meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the Belgians.
Forecast I think that in this match the opponents will not be able to determine the strongest.
Opponents will divide the points and sign the world with a score of 1:1. The forces of the opponents are equal, and in 90 minutes one of them is unlikely to win.
