Betting suggestion:

This should be a very open match with plenty of chances for both sides as both teams enjoy very competent attacks. Even so, we believe this match will be dominated by the Croatians; however, Russia has already shown that they often create much danger through counterattacks. We also remember that these two teams have an average of more than 2 goals scored per match in this competition. So, and taking into account all these factors, betting in favor of the market '' over 1.5 goals '' seems to have great value.

Preview
Russia and Croatia meet , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Quarter‑finals). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 17‑11‑2015, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Croatia.

Analysis Russia

They come to this stage of the World Cup (Quarter‑finals) after a win by (3‑4), after a penalty shootout, against Spain. Russia registers 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 matches for the World Cup. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Russia comes completely motivated for these quarter-finals after beating Spain on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the end of the 120': the only goal of the team was scored by Dzyuba. In this way, the Russians come very motivated to go away in the Championship of the World in their country. In this match against Croatia, the coach Stanislav Cherchesov should play in 3-4-3, a system used in the last match, but with a more cautious strategy as the opponent holds large individual values. Aleksandr Golovin, CSKA Moscow player, is the player with more ability to shake the match of the Russian team, being this owner of great speed and technique. For this match, the coach won’t count on Dzagoev.

Confirmed Lineup: Igor Akinfeev, Mário Fernandes, Fedor Kudryashov, Ilya Kutepov, Roman Zobnin, Aleksandr Samedov, Daler Kuzyaev, Aleksandr Golovin, Denis Cheryshev, Artem Dzyuba.
Coach: S. Ignashevich.

Analysis Croatia

They come to this stage of the World Cup (Quarter‑finals) after a win by (3‑2) after a penalty shootout against Denmark. In the last 4 World Cup matches Croatia has a record of 4 wins. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 15 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

In the image of their opponent, Croatia needed the penalties to overtake Denmark in the round of 16, after a 1-1 draw in the late 90’: the only goal of the team was signed by Mandzukic. In this match against Russia, the great host of the World Cup, the coach Zlatko Dalic should return to risk in 4-3-3 privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks: Modric has worked wonders when he acts in position 10. On the other hand, Mandzukic is one of the great highlights of Croatia, being this very powerful and effective player in finishing. There are no weight absences for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Danijel Subašić, Sime Vrsaljko, Ivan Strinić, Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida, Ivan Rakitić, Ivan Perišić, Luka Modrić, Mario Mandžukić, Andrej Kramarić, Ante Rebić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.
