Who Will Go Down in History?

If we look at the stats, the picture seems very clear of what Croatia are capable of. They have won 7 of their last 10 matches overall, while Denmark have won just 3 of their 9 games since hammering the Republic of Ireland in the play-offs. In the group-stage, Croatia sealed the nine points alongside Uruguay and Belgium, while the Danes maintained the runners-up spot with low tempo, suggesting they don’t have strong energy to get beyond this round.

Croatia in their last match against Iceland did not have to go all the way and capture the victory, as they were already qualified to round of 16, but still they had the passion and will to claim 2-1 triumph. On the other side, Denmark exhibited the worst game in 2018 World Cup so far, by settling to goalless match and being comfortable with the second position behind France.

Croatia’s Tactical Domination

From the position point of view, internet sportsbook sites in Russia suggest Croatia to have plenty of possession given the technical expertise of their players, and that will leave Denmark chasing shadows for much of this contest, especially in the attacking areas. The only way that Denmark could net is by nesting on defense during the whole 90-minutes and hoping for their creative talent Christian Eriksen to steal a goal at a critical point.
