The match between Croatia and Belgium in Group F of the 2022 World Cup. The match takes place at 10:00 p.m. on December 1.
After 2 matches in Group F, the chance to win a ticket to continue is still divided equally among all 3 teams Croatia, Morocco and Belgium. While Morocco only has to face Canada, who have already been eliminated, Croatia and Belgium will be determined to play in the final round. The winning team of the Croatia vs Belgium match will certainly continue without having to care about the results of the remaining round.
Croatia after the last 2 matches has partly proven why they are the runner-up at the World Cup. Compared to 4 years ago, the red and white team has weakened a lot. The pillars that brought Croatia to the 2018 World Cup Finals are now old, and the next generation is not strong enough to replace the seniors who are mostly past their peak.
In contrast to Croatia's solidarity, there are many problems within Belgium. Since De Bruyne's statement about the home team not having a chance to win the 2022 World Cup, the Red Devils' spirit has been clearly affected.
Belgium's pillars have appeared in many conflicts, even publicly criticizing and mocking each other. Worse, De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Jan Vertonghen almost had their hands and feet moved after a 0-2 loss to Morocco.
Internal boxing is one of the reasons for Belgium's weak performance in the last 2 matches. From being a championship candidate, Belgium is causing great disappointment and facing the risk of being eliminated from the group stage.
Expected lineup:
Croatia: Livakovic, lovren, Sosa, Juranovic, Modric, Gvardol, Perisic, Brozovic, Kovacic, Livaja, Kramaric.
Belgium: Courtois, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Meunier, Castagne, Witsel, De Bruyne, T.Hazard, Lukaku, Batshuai, Trossard.
