Argentina started their 2018 World Cup with an unconvincing draw and Messi also missed a penalty. Croatia needs to consolidate their position in this group following their opening group game win.
Match Overview:
Argentina had a shocker against Iceland in their 2018 World Cup opening group D game. Messi who is expected to carry this side had a poor game and also missed a penalty. It is normal for teams to have off days and the result against Iceland was exactly that, a bad day at the office. Croatia who won 2 nil against Nigeria will have to be at their best. They will start the game 2 points ahead of Argentina and if they can keep it tight and hit a desperate Argentina side on the break who knows maybe the could put an end to Argentina. This match could be very exciting.
