All eyes will be on Japan to reprise their gigantic killing act, as they did to two former world champions. However, Croatia is no pushover. Dalic’s side progressed from both of their previous ties at this stage of the competition. And we have witnessed how the Croatian midfield trio has kicked into high gear. However, the disciplined Japanese team simply does not know how to give up. I anticipate them to have the same fortitude and tenacity to force this game into the first World Cup 2022 extra time.

所有人的目光都将集中在日本身上，他们将再次上演他们对两位前世界冠军所做的杀戮。然而，克罗地亚并不是一个容易被打败的国家。达利奇的球队在这个阶段的比赛中从他们之前的两个平局中进步了。我们已经见证了克罗地亚中场三人组是如何进入高速运转的。然而，纪律严明的日本队根本不知道如何放弃。我预计他们会有同样的毅力和韧性，把这场比赛逼入2022年世界杯的第一次加时赛。
