Argentina to win on penalties - 9/1
A tight game going all the way is our prediction
Argentina v Croatia Match Preview
Argentina have both full-backs suspended, so Nicolas Tagliafico and Nahuel Molina will come in for Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel, while Croatia have no fresh injury concerns.
There are so many fascinating storylines to this particular encounter, and we can’t wait to see how things unfold.
To whet your appetite, we have pored over the latest betting lines and handpicked a couple of tips for you to ponder ahead of kick-off.
Argentina to prevail in dramatic penalty shoot-out
Perhaps Argentina had to do things the hard way against a spirited Netherlands who had recovered from going 2-0 down to level things up.
It was an emotional ending for Louis van Gaal, who was taking charge of his final game for the Netherlands.
But Lautaro Martinez was decisive from the penalty spot, dispatching it with consummate ease to send Argentina to their fifth World Cup semi-final.
Croatia, meanwhile, have endured extra-time in five of their past six World Cup knockout stages won’t seem to faze them.
Of course, Luka Modric will have a huge role to play once again, but Argentina should have enough to get over the line, and this might involve a contest from 12 yards at the end of the game.
I have a hunch that this game will go right down to the wire and Argentina will go through on penalties. This is worth exploring, especially when bet365 are advertising an enticing price of 9/1 for this outcome.
Argentina to win on penalties - 9/1
A tight game going all the way is our prediction
Lionel Messi to go all out
With four World Cup goals to his name, Lionel Messi has been very productive, and he’s just trailing France’s Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race.
Messi — who is contesting his last World Cup — will be desperate to get to another Final.
He could well end the ongoing GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate with Cristiano Ronaldo if he were to clinch the Jules Rimet trophy, and he would love to go out with a bang.
Messi is never afraid to take things by the scruff of the neck and the 35-year-old is Argentina’s main talisman.
And Messi could try to go for broke with some pop shots from outside the area, and for my second tip, I am leaning towards the shots on target outside the box market. Paddy Power has duly obliged with odds of 11/1 for Messi to have three or more shots from outside the penalty area which is worth considering.
