Croatia Are Unbeaten In Their Last 11 Matches

Croatia have needed penalties in their last two World Cup games to get to the semi-finals, having beaten the pre-tournament favourites Brazil last time and Japan before that.

The European side have now not tasted defeat in their last 11 matches and have only let in two World Cup goals (90 mins) at this event (Japan and Canada).

Argentina Have Lost Just One Of Their 41 Games

So, we know the Croatia are unbeaten in their last 11 fixtures, but Argentina also come here having lost only one of their last 41 games.

Yes, that shock defeat came at this World Cup in their opening match to Saudi Arabia, but since then they’ve bounced back to beat Poland and Mexico 2-0 and in the end actually topped Group C.

Since then, the two-time World Cup winners, Argentina, have beaten Australia and the Netherlands in the knockout stages to reach the semi-finals.

What Are The FIFA Rankings For Argentina and Croatia?

The FIFA World Rankings give Argentina the edge at 3, but Croatia are only 9 places back in 12th.

Recent Argentina vs Croatia Head-to-Heads Give Croatia a Chance

Croatia and Argentina last met in the 2018 World Cup, at the group stage, and it was Croatia that came out on top with a comfortable 3-0 victory – you can back a repeat 3-0 Croatia win @ 90/1 with BetUK.

Overall, the sides have met four times and its honours even with two wins each (no draws), but Croatia have won two of those last three head-to-heads.

Croatia Like A Draw At The Moment

The 90 minutes match betting for this game sees Argentina as favourites @ 41/50, with Croatia @ 17/4 with BetUK, but with 4 draws in their last 5 matches, then Croatia do love a stalemate at the moment.

In fact, Croatia’s last three matches have ended all-square, so the 49/20 with BetUK on another draw here does look a tempting option too.

Croatia Remain Unbeaten at 2022 World Cup

Of the four sides left in the World Cup 2022, it’s actually the two bigger-priced teams in the outright market – Morocco and Croatia – that are yet to taste defeat at the tournament.

Croatia have strangely only won one game (90 mins) though to get this far – drawing their other four.

Have Argentina or Croatia Won The World Cup Before?

Yes and no. Argentina have won the World Cup twice in the past (1978 and 1986), so they are on a 36-year baron spell, while Croatia, who lost to France in the 2018 World Cup Final last time, are yet to go all the way.

Only eight different nations have won the FIFA World Cup – Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Uruguay, Germany, France, Spain and England.

Both Teams Often Score In Their Matches

With Argentina having scored in a massive 37 of their last 39 games that works out at a 95% return. Add that to the fact Croatia have found the back of the net at least once in 17 of their last 20 fixtures (85%), then maybe BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE @ 5/4 with BetUK might appeal.

The Last Three Head-to-Heads Saw Over 2.5 Goals

The last three times Croatia and Argentina have played has seen 3+ goals scored, so the @ 29/20 with BetUK might look tempting here.

This bet can also be backed up with 80% of Argentina’s last 10 matches seeing OVER 2.5 GOALS, but a small word of caution as 8 or Croatia’s last 11 games went Under 2.5 Goals.

Who Are The Squad Top-Scorers To Look For?

Lionel Messi, who is appearing at his fifth World Cup, has netted four goals at the 2022 tournament so far and with an overall record of 94 International goals (169 caps) then he’s sure to be popular in the scoring markets as always. Messi is on offer @ 5/2 (1st) or 11/10 (anytime) with BetUK.

Then, looking at Croatia, it’s not Luka Modric who is their top scorer in the current squad, but Tottenham’s Ivan Perisic. He’s scored 33 goals from 120 caps and can be supported @ 13/1 (1st) or 23/4 (anytime) with BetUK.

But, if you do fancy Modric, who scored the last time Croatia played Argentina, then he’s @ 16/1 (1st) or 7/1 (anytime).
