World Cup Prediction Iceland – Croatia
The first game of this evening is Iceland and Croatia, scheduled from 21:00 on the Rostov Arena. The Croats have already scored the eighth-round victory in the previous game, while the Icelanders are making plans to try as far as possible to take second place. The calculations are not very much in favor of the Icelanders, but with the help of the spirit they can do the miracle, yet they have a positive result in the other match in the group.
Iceland began in an exceptional manner two years ago to the European in France, managing to reach the elimination stages. This was seen as a surprise, but after another two years, this selected manages to be present in Russia and still has chances to qualify. The two games were not as good as expected by the lovers of this national. The Icelanders have scored a very important point against the Argentinians, but in the match they hoped for, against Nigeria, they crashed, losing 2-0. So they must not only be at their hands in this final match, but also at the hands of other national teams, to make it possible to qualify for the best. Sigurdsson hopes to recover after the missed penalty against Nigeria and to be at full capacity because with a national like Croatia in front, Iceland needs the most experienced people in the field.
Probable team Iceland: Hannes Halldorsson; Birkir Saevarsson, Kari Arnason, Ragnar Sigurdson, Hordur Magnusson; Aron Gunnarsson, Emil Hallfredsson, Johann Gudmundsson, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Birkir Bjarnason; Alfred Finnbogason
Croatia made a perfect start to this tournament, winning the first game against Nigeria fairly easily, scoring 2-0, a game where Modric, Mandzukic or Rakitic did not have a lot of emotions against some pretty affluent Africans in most of the game. What was predicted to be one of the heaviest parties, the one against the Argentinians, proved to be easier than against the Nigerians. The Croatian band mobilized tremendously and managed a dry victory, scoring 3-0 in front of Messi & Co. Croatian footballers have shown total professionalism and devotion throughout the game, and so they are only qualified after only two games in this World. The performance of these footballers if they continue in the same manner can reach the quarters phase upwards.
Probable team Croatia: Lovre Kalinic; Tin Jeduji, Vedran Corluka, Domagoj Vida, Josip Pivaric; Milan Badelj, Mateo Kovacic, Filip Bradaric; Marko Pjaca, Andrei Kramaric, Ivan Perisic
Prediction Iceland – Croatia
The Icelanders need more victory than Croats given the odds quite close for the two national betting houses. Modric & Co have no reason to give up the match as many people have predicted because the professionalism of these footballers is hard to remove under unsupportive techniques. I think Dalic’s players will tackle the game to win, leaving us room for interpretation at the end of the game.
