Argentina to qualify

Argentina were part of what I think has been the most entertaining game of the tournament last time out against the Netherlands. Messi and co went two ahead before a Wout Weghorst double brought the Dutch level before Argentina won on penalties. Croatia also progressed after defeating Brazil on penalties, but I don’t think this game will go as far. I think Argentina will have just too much for the Croats in this fixture and think they’ll get themselves into the final to face either Morocco or France.

Lionel Messi to score

I’m backing Lionel Messi to get on the scoresheet once again in this one against Croatia. The Rosario born wizard has scored four goals so far at this World Cup and will be keen to continue the chase for the golden boot in what is his last World Cup at the age of 35. He is averaging 0.75 goals per game at this World Cup and is joint second top scorer with Olivier Giroud and just one behind Kylian Mbappe. Messi is also Argentina’s penalty taker, which adds to his chances of scoring. However, he may not need it as there will be plenty of chances created for him and I expect he will take at least one of them and draw level with Mbappe at the top of the goalscoring charts.

Marcelo Brozovic to be booked

Marcelo Brozovic will be in for a tough shift in the middle of the park and I’m taking him to receive a booking in this one. He has been booked once so far at this tournament, picking up a card last time out against Brazil. He averages 1.91 fouls per match at this tournament so far, and I expect him to make at least that in this one, increasing the chances of being booked. The Napoli man has picked up five yellow cards in the Serie A this season in just seven starts and three substitute appearances, and I won’t be surprised to see him enter the referee’s book in this one.
