Argentina vs. Croatia - June 21
Argentina, Croatia, Iceland and Nigeria make up the four teams in Group D, which is expected to be the toughest in the tournament. While on paper Argentina and Croatia look like favourites to clinch the 2 qualifying spots, they will have tough challenges with the other two 'minnows' making it a tightly-contested affair. That is why one of the most crucial games in the tournament is when Argentina take on Croatia.
Trending
While Argentina is envied for its attacking prowess, the same can be said about the midfield of Croatia, containing the Real Madrid duo of Luka Modric and Kovacic, and Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic.
Croatia will rely on Mandzukic for some attacking inspiration, while Argentina will hope that Messi can weave his magic yet again. This is a mouth-watering clash that is too close to call.
