Preview
Argentina and Croatia face , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 12‑11‑2014, and ended in a (2‑1) win by Argentina.

Analysis Argentina

They come to this 2nd round of Group D after a draw in their debut in this group stage, against Iceland, by (1‑1). Argentina has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2 of the last 10 matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 23 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Argentina was one of the great disappointments of the opening round of the group stage of the World Cup, alongside Germany and Brazil, as they drew against modest Iceland. Still, it is important to emphasize that the Icelanders deserved a positive result since they showed great defensive solidity. In this match against Croatia, the most complicated opponent of the group, coach Jorge Sampaoli should risk in the 4-2-3-1 tactical formation privileging ball possession and organized attacks. Agüero is one of the great highlights of Argentina, having scored the only goal of the team in the last game. For this second game the Argentine coach is expected to make some changes compared to the Iceland game, such as Giovani Lo Celso, a player who had been the regular choice in the games that preceded the World Cup.

Confirmed Lineup: Willy Caballero, Nicolás Tagliafico, Gabriel Mercado, Nicolás Otamendi, Eduardo Salvio, Enzo Pérez, Maximiliano Meza, Sergio Agüero, Lionel Messi, Marcos Acuña.
Coach: J. Mascherano.

Analysis Croatia

They come to this 2nd round of Group D after a win in their debut in this group stage, against Nigeria, by (2‑0). In the last 10 matches Croatia has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Croatia arrives to this game motivated after having won to Nigeria by 2-0 in a relaxed way, meaning they were the only team to win in their group: the goals were scored by Modric and Etebo (own-goal). In the event of a draw against Argentina, the Croatians are well positioned to advance in this competition. On this second round, coach Zlatko Dalic should play in 4-2-3-1, but with a more cautious strategy, since the opponent holds great individual values. Still, Croatia should dominate the ball possession at some points in the match: Modric is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. In comparison with the previous eleven, some changes of the Croatian coach are expected, as for example the midfielder Kovacic, player who offers more balance in the team's half field.

Confirmed Lineup: Danijel Subašić, Sime Vrsaljko, Ivan Strinić, Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida, Marcelo Brozović, Ivan Rakitić, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić, Ante Rebić, Mario Mandžukić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.
