✅ Stats before the game. Argentina could reach the final at the World Cup for the sixth time, only Germany has more (8). Albiceleste have never been eliminated in the semifinals, in their last semifinal of 2014 they won against the Netherlands.
Croatia could become the fourth European nation to reach the final of the World Cup in at least two consecutive editions, after Italy (1934, 1938), the Netherlands (1974, 1978) and Germany (1982, 1986, 1990). Following their shoot-out win against Brazil in the quarter-finals, Croatia could become the second team to eliminate Brazil and Argentina in the knockout stages of a single World Cup, after Germany in 2014. Argentina have won just one of their last seven World Cup matches against European sides (D3 L3), beating Poland 2-0 in this season’s group stage. However, in two of those three draws they then progressed through the lottery of penalties. Croatia have never scored the first goal of a match in their last nine World Cup matches, the last time coming in a 2-1 win against Iceland in the 2018 group stage. in the competition without ever finding the first goal of the match.
🏆👉 Lineup ARGENTINA (4-4-2): E. Martinez; Molina (86′ Foyth), Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul (74′ Palacios), Paredes (62′ Li. Martinez), E. Fernandez, Mac Allister (86′ Correa); Messi, Alvarez (74′ Dybala).
