Croatia to win
In Croatia’s three group matches, they won one and drew two. They only conceded one goal, with both draws being 0-0 and their win coming emphatically as they defeated Canada 4-1 on matchday two. Now we’re in the knockout stages of the tournament, I think Croatia will really turn on the style and expect them to progress through this one against the Japanese. Japan topped their group against all the odds, defeating Germany and Spain but losing to Costa Rica. However, I don’t think they will have enough to defeat Croatia in this one and I think the Croats will win comfortably.
Luka Modric to score
Luka Modric is yet to score at this World Cup. However, he will definitely score at some stage and I think this will be the game for him to get amongst the goals against a Japan side who conceded in each of their group games. Modric has averaged one shot per game in the group stage, with 0.66 being on target. He has played the full 90 minutes in each game so far and I expect him to have a few chances in this one whether it be from range, a set piece or a well-worked individual goal. Taking him to score adds great value to this bet and I think there’s a good chance in this one.
Over 2.5 goals
I think this one will be a very entertaining matchup with a good amount of goals. I think Croatia will come out on top and I don’t think there will be any shortage of goalmouth action. Despite two of their games being 0-0, Croatia still managed four goals in the group as they defeated Canada 4-1. There has been three goals in two of Japan’s three matches so far and I think we can expect to see similar in this one. I think this selection will land comfortably.
