This week, Argentina and Lionel Messi are just a step away from the 2022 FIFA World Cup final when they play Croatia in a crucial semi-final match at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday. At the FIFA World Cup, Croatia performed at its peak, and they will attempt to make up for their loss in the World Cup final in 2018 this year.
After shocking Brazil in the previous round on penalties, Croatia has shown that they can compete effectively in the knockout stages of the tournament. In contrast, Argentina has performed admirably since their opening-day loss to Saudi Arabia and is just two victories away from their first World Cup victory since 1986. In a tense encounter with the Netherlands, the Argentines prevailed, and they will attempt to up their game in this matchup.

Argentina vs Croatia Prediction :
Lionel Messi’s creative genius will be needed once more this week as Argentina, who have established themselves as one of the most intense teams at the FIFA World Cup, rely on him once more. The Albiceleste surrendered late objectives against the Netherlands and have a couple of issues to address in front of this installation. Croatia has grieved Argentina previously and has proactively broken Brazilian hearts at the World Cup. But Argentina should be able to win this game because they have a more diverse team.
Prediction: Argentina 2-1 Croatia
Argentina vs Croatia Head to head :
Out of the five matches that have been played between the two teams, Argentina and Croatia have both won two games, putting them on an even head-to-head record. Croatia prevailed 3-0 in their previous meeting at the FIFA World Cup, which took place in the group stage in 2018.
Only Germany has been to the World Cup final more frequently than Argentina, with eight appearances, and this could be their sixth time there. Croatia could turn out to be just the fourth country after Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands to arrive at the World Cup last in successive versions of the competition. Croatia could become only the second nation after Germany to defeat both Argentina and Brazil in the World Cup by winning on penalties in the quarterfinals.
