Croatia vs Canada, November 27: Head-to-Head Statistics, Line-ups, Prediction for the 2022 World Cup Match

After failing to win their initial World Cup matches against Morocco and Belgium respectively, earlier in the week, Croatia and Canada will both be hoping to do better than their opening tournament performances.

The African nation put an end to Luka Modric and Croatia in the opening 0-0 tie, which won't stick in the mind for very long. But the 2018 champions will still be optimistic about their chances of making it out of Group F and into the round of 16.

Considering that Croatia only had five shots on goal throughout the whole game in the opening Group fixture and had to rely on Dejan Lovren's tenacious defending to keep the scoreless, they were undoubtedly fortunate to earn a draw from their match with Morocco.

Zlatko Dalic,Croatia National Team manager, has acknowledged that his team "lacked courage" in their first-match draw with Morocco, but that result was still enough for them to move into second place in Group F after one match, ahead of third-placed Morocco for the time being on fair play points.

The Checkered Ones' unbeaten run in all competitions has now reached seven games, and they have only lost once in their past 17 games since Euro 2020, underscoring their outstanding defensive ability, which has seen them allow just two goals in their last 6 games.

Canada has lost four games in a row, the most of any nation in World Cup history, and has yet to score, 36 years after their lone previous appearance. Canada national team manager Herdman is now working to prevent his team from matching El Salvador's all time record of six consecutive defeats.

Canada can understandably feel unfairly treated given their 1-0 loss to Belgium going into Sunday's match.Prior to Michy Despite Batshuayi's goal, Belgium rode their luck after Alphonso Davies missed a spot kick for Canada. Canada will remain optimistic despite the setback since they played a very good match.

Herdman needs to improve in this area, as evidenced by Canada's three shots on target in 22 efforts against Belgium, but the manager of Canada has controversially threatened to "F" Croatia as they get ready to play the 2018 runners-up in the Qatar World cup championship 2022.

Canada Form(All competitions)- (L,W,L,D,W,L)

Expected Croatia National Football team starting XI vs Canada(4-3-3): Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic.

Expected Canada National team starting XI vs Croatia(5-4-1): Borjan; Laryea, Johnston, Vitoria, Miller, Davies; Buchanan, Hutchinson, Eustaquio, Larin; David.

The odds are slightly favoring Croatia to win, but a draw could be a better option given Canada's impressive showing in the opening match of the world cup championship.

An over 2.5 wager could be on the cards since both of the teams will be going for a win to improve their chances of qualifying from the group stage.

The 2018 World Cup champions Croatia struggled to make an impression against Morocco in the opening world cup group F match, and they will be motivated to improve following the discouraging 0-0 stalemate.

Despite losing to Belgium, Canada really impressed in the match. Even though Croatia has more tournament experience. The oddsmakers have Croatia as the favorite, but John Herdman's team will bet on a surprise. We predict either a draw or a Canada win if they take their chances and play how they played Belgium in their previous game.
