Croatia World Cup 2022 Preview

In 2018, Croatia surprised the entire world when they made it to the final. In 2022, however, things look different and it was particularly noticeable against Morocco that the Croatians lacked punch in the attack. The team is currently short of great strikers and not even the well-stocked central midfield can compensate for that.

Against the defensively organized Moroccans, Croatia only managed 0.74 Expected Goals. Although they allowed very little in defense, the Croatians’ problem will probably continue to be scoring goals. Against the Canadians, who are very explosive and straightforward on the attack, Croatia will also be much more challenged in the defense.

---

The Croatian backline and central midfield did a good job against Morocco and especially Lovren and Gvardiol, but also Modric and Brozovic were very active. However, they were too ineffective in the attack and especially the attacking players Vlasic and Kramaric were completely ignored.

It is therefore possible that team boss Zlatko Dalic will make some changes against Canada and bring on Marko Livaja or Mislav Orsic from the start, for example, in order to give the attack a much-needed fresh boost.

Canada World Cup 2022 Preview

You could feel sorry for the Canadians against Belgium, because the underdogs were clearly the better team against the heavily favored Belgians. Only Michy Batshuayi’s crucial goal prevented a sensation. But Alphonso Davies’ missed penalty also contributed to the fact that Canada is still without points.

Canada, however, presented itself as highly energetic and strong on the attack. If this team can get its act together, a sensation or two is certainly still within the realms of possibility in the course of the group phase.

---

The tactically very appealing Canadians were largely convincing against Belgium, but then suffered a very painful defeat. Especially the midfield with Stephen Eustáquio and Atiba Hutchinson showed a good performance.

Coach John Herdman will certainly set Canada up well against Croatia and his team will be looking to show a reaction to the bitter defeat they suffered on matchday one.

Croatia – Canada Over Under Prediction

Canada showed against Belgium that they are very attack-minded and can also create numerous scoring opportunities. The only thing that didn’t happen were the goals, but if Canada can build up such a high expected goals statistic against Croatia, they will inevitably score at some point.

Croatia, on the other hand, has problems in the attack and team boss Dalic could therefore rotate at the attacking positions and bring in fresh forces. This could allow the strong central midfield to create clearer scoring opportunities than was the case against Morocco.

Since both teams have to play for victory here, we bet on a match with many goals. We decide on an “Over 2.5” bet, i.e. at least three goals scored in the match.

Croatia – Canada Prediction

Oddly enough, the defeat against Belgium will give the Canadians a boost. The team has seen that they can compete with top sides. They will not back down against Croatia and will play boldly forward.

The Croats, on the other hand, earned a point against Morocco on the first matchday, but will be disappointed with the performance, partly because they created far too few clear scoring opportunities. Croatia will dominate the midfield and have more ball security, but the explosive attacks of the Canadians will be difficult to defend for Zlatko Dalic’s ageing team.

We are betting on a sensation and a win for the underdog here because we assume that Canada will start scoring sooner or later.

---

Croatia – Canada Correct Score Bet

We can expect a lively match in which both teams will attack with open sights. A draw might not be enough for Canada, but Croatia should also leave nothing to chance, especially as Belgium awaits on the last matchday.

We expect two attacking teams, which could be an advantage for the Canadians who are looking for counterattacks.

We bet that both teams will score goals, but that Canada will have the upper hand in the end. Our Croatia Canada result bet is therefore a 2-1 for the Canucks.
