FIFA World Cup 2018: Top 5 Group-Stage Matches to Watch Out For 1

Though Argentina are favourites against Croatia, the probability of Croatia creating an upset cannot get ruled out.

With the likes of skipper Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, Ivan Rakitic, Ivan Perisic and Mario Mandzukic, Croatia is undoubtedly one of the most underrated teams of the FIFA World Cup 2018, and they have what it takes to create an upset.

On the other hand, the top stars of Argentina have struggled in the past to perform as a unit in bigger stages. The sides have clashed only once in World Cup which was in 1998 where Argentina won 1-0 against the red and white.

FIFA Ranking: Argentina 5, Croatia 18

Overall form: Argentina – L W L W W, Croatia – W L D W W
