Here we are, finally reaching the semi-finals of the world’s biggest football stage. WorldCup22 is back with yet another in-depth look at the betting tips and recommendations ahead of the thrilling match between Argentina and Croatia.
Tips
Argentina
Angel Di Maria’s health is Argentina’s primary concern as they prepare for this game. The 34-year-old winger was used sparingly against the Netherlands as he continued his recovery from a muscle injury he sustained at the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches against Australia.
Even though Argentina had eight corners overall versus the Netherlands, seven of them occurred in overtime, and that’s not allowed in a regulation bet. While Brazil leads the World Cup in corners, Croatia only managed to take three throughout the entire quarterfinal and allowed only 5 to their opponents during regulation.
Without Gio Lo Celso, Italy has struggled to create continuous attacks against powerful midfield this World Cup, making the 3-way moneyline an unattractive proposition. The World Cup betting odds 2022 indicate bookmakers’ expectation of a low-scoring, hotly-contested encounter, which increases the likelihood of extra time.
Argentina’s defensive line, like Brazil’s, is physically strong and will be able to withstand the direct play of Croatia’s assault for the full 90 minutes.
Croatia
After shocking Brazil, Croatia will face Argentina in the semifinals. When they pushed Brazil to a stalemate and eventually eliminated them on penalties on Friday, Croatia shocked the World Cup.

We’ve seen Croatia, by some miracle, at our World Cup 2022 free livestream made it through their World Cup quarterfinal match and into the tournament’s final four. They accomplished it in a fashion that was remarkably similar to their other shows in Qatar.
They made life very tough for Brazil by forming a low, tight defensive block while they were inside their own half, and they depended on their midfield three to enable them to keep some sort of command of the game rather than simply clinging to a point against a superior opponent.
Croatia’s method of flattening the ball with inconsequential control helped them dominate Brazil, but Argentina’s Lionel Scaloni has a few days to determine how to counter this strategy and get his greatest player more touches.
Predictions
Despite the widespread belief that Argentina would proceed to their second World Cup final in the Messi era, anything can happen if you give an opponent the benefit of extra time and penalties, like Croatia did against Brazil. Argentina doesn’t have anything going for it in terms of markets.
Croatia will do what they’ve always done if they want to beat Argentina and reach the World Cup final for the second year in a row. They plan to make it through regulation and overtime, then win on penalties if necessary. So, don’t count on anything from Croatia until the last whistle.And we’ve reached the conclusion of all the helpful tips and recommendations we have for you.
