Belgium Potential Lineup vs Croatia 2022 World Cup
When Belgium plays Croatia on Thursday at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, they could potentially be eliminated at the opening round of the 2022 World Cup. Prior to their final group match, the Red Devils are currently in third place, one point behind Morocco and the Checkered Ones. Croatia responded to their goalless draw with Morocco in their first Group F match by defeating Canada 4-1 on Sunday, improving their chances of making it out of the group stage while also eliminating the Maple Leafs.
Alphonso Davies gave Canada the lead after just two minutes, making the Checkered Ones work for the three points, but goals from Andrej Kramaric and Marko Livaja at the conclusion of the first half turned the game around. Kramaric then scored his second goal of the game 20 minutes from the end, and Lovro Majer, who had been on the bench, came off to seal the three points in extra time and give Croatia the lead in Group F.
Prior to the match on Thursday, Croatia, which is currently ranked 12th in the world according to FIFA, had a strong run of results. They had gone unbeaten in their previous eight games across all competitions, and they had only lost one of their previous 18 international matches since Euro 2020. Croatia hasn’t defeated Belgium since a 1-0 friendly victory in 2010, but the mood in the Croatian camp is positive, and Dalic and company will believe they have a good chance of taking advantage of their opponents’ inconsistent play on Thursday.
Croatia possible starting lineup:
Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Kramaric, Livaja, Perisic
Belgium possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Castagne, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Meunier, Tielemans, Witsel, Carrasco; De Bruyne, E. Hazard; Batshuayi
