Here is our soccer prediction with review.

At the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, the second semi-final clash will be held in the 2018 World Cup championship. We will watch the teams of Croatia and England in an extremely interesting match. Both teams were not among the main favorites for the trophy, but they are now just a step from the final battle that will determine the new World Football Champion. The winner of this match will face the winner of the meeting between France and Belgium.

The news from the Croatian camp

20 years ago, Croatia again played at the World Championship, reaching its first semi-final and losing to champion France. This is the biggest achievement for Croatia at the World Finals, and now the team will aim to improve it. Croatia shows a very interesting face in the elimination phase. The team was flawless in their three games from the group they won against Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland, and in the first two elimination phases it recorded a draw. Croatia had to go through overtime and penalties both against Denmark on the 1/8-final and against Russia at the ¼-final. These battles can not affect the physical training of the team, but maybe Zlatko Dalić has something to surprise us. There are no problems with players from the selection of chess players.

The news from the English camp

There is hardly anyone expecting England to reach the semi-finals, but this is already a fact and the team does not intend to stop there. For the last time, the English played at this stage in the tournament 28 years ago. “The Three Lions” waited for their resurrection and are now among the best in the race. England finished second in the group, and Columbia’s second round after penalty shoot-outs. In the next phase the team met Sweden and the victory with 0-2 brought joy to the English. Expectations are Garrett Southgate to bet on the familiar eleven, who will rely on the strong team again. There are no problems in the composition, with only Jordan Henderson having some slight complaints, but he is ready to play.

Croatia vs. England – Statistics

The check shows us that the two countries have played 7 games so far. In them England has 4 wins, and Croatia is with 2. One match has ended equally. They have never played against each other at the World Cup finals. Last but not least, the two teams were together in a World Cup qualifying group in the Europe zone. Then England won 4-1 as a guest and 5-1 home against the Croats. Now, however, things look quite different. Croatia will rely heavily on his midfield where the big names are in the squad. It is with her that the English will have to deal. On the other hand, the “three lions” rely heavily on Harry Kane on an attack that, apart from being a great goalkeepers, may open a lot of space for his teammates. The English showed that they can handle different situations against different types of teams. The Croats, however, demonstrated a great face in their match against Argentina, which is currently the only one against a rival of the highest class. The upcoming match with England will be the second such game. We are definitely expecting a great clash, and our opinion is that England will win it. Croatia has accumulated a lot of game minutes lately, and this may have an impact while the English will be more fresh and will be able to reach the so-called final. A very good option is also a bet for both teams to score a goal in the match.
