Match #4- Croatia vs Denmark

Croatia vs Denmark
Croatia vs Denmark

Group C winners, Croatia who finished the group with a perfect record will take on the 1992 European Champions Denmark who finished unbeaten in the group with 1 win and 2 draws. On paper, Croatia certainly has a better team and are in a good run of form as well but the Danes are no pushovers either. Eriksen alone could prove to be a huge threat. Add the likes of Jorgensen, Cornelius, Poulsen, and Sisto they can pull of an upset.

Croatia's midfield is their biggest strength. With Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, Brozovic, and Kovacic they have a strong midfield which can dominate the midfield battle against most of the teams. Add Mandzukic and Kramaric's goal-scoring ability they are not short of attacking firepower. Both the teams have reliable keepers which is why it could be a close contest.

Prediction - Croatia 2-1 Denmark
