Preview:
Croatia jumped to the top of the table with a 4-1 win over Canada in their previous clash on Sunday.
Kramaric led the way by finding the net twice while Livaja and Majer added to the score-sheet. This after Davies gave Canada the lead within 68 seconds.
The win was their 1st of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and would need another one to seal their place in Round of 16.
On the other hand, Belgium lost 2-0 to Morocco in their previous clash which puts their qualification hopes in jeopardy.

Saiss and Aboukhlal struck for Morocco to leave Belgium in 3rd place with 3 points.
The performance did indeed prove De Bruyne’s statement of Belgium being too old as they were poor in their approach.
The Belgian Red Devils need an inspired performance to seal a Round of 16 berth here. It’s going to be a tough challenge as they have lost 3 of their previous 5 across competitions.
Both teams last met in a friendly in June 2021, where Belgium won 1-0.

Croatia possible 11:
Livakovic, Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Kramaric, Livaja and Perisic
Belgium possible 11:
Courtois, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Castagne, Meunier, Tielemans, Witsel, Carrasco, Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku
Prediction: Croatia 2-1 Belgium
Croatia has the confidence post the huge win on MD 2 vs Canada. Belgium’s woes just increased after the comments made by De Bruyne followed by the insipid performance.
It’s game which has everything on the line. We see Croatia nicking this by the odd goal in three due to their experience and dedicated levels.
Belgium is the stronger side on paper but haven’t shown the desire in the tournament.
Players to watch out for: Kramaric, Livaja, Carrasco and Tielemans.
