drd23 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Russia vs Croatia 18:00GMT (2pm US EDT) July 7 @ Sochi Croatia has been of the more impressive teams in this World Cup, lead by their brilliant midfield of Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Marcelo Brozevic, although they had problems in their last game breaking down the Danish defense and putting the ball past the brilliant Kasper Schmichel. That game finished in a penalty shootout - luckily for them so did the last game for their opponents. Croatia are expected to field their usual starting XI for this game Russia provided one of the upsets of the tournament by beating Spain in a penalty shootout after finishing extra time locked at 1-1. They are expected to revert to their typical 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, which should see Denis Cheryshev return to the starting line-up. Alan Dzagoev has returned to training before the match for the first time since being injured in the tournament opener, so there is a possibility we may see him too. Fedor Smolov, Aleksandr Golovin, Ilya Kutepov, Roman Zobnin and Yuri Gazinskiy are all one booking away from a one-match suspension. Ante Rebic, Ivan Rakitic, Marcelo Brozovic, Mario Mandzukic, Marko Pjaca, Sime Vrsaljko, Vedran Corluka and Tin Jedvaj are all one booking away from a one-match ban. Prediction Croatia 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
