The odds of the bookmaker Argentina vs Croatia, World Cup 2022, 12pm on December 14

With superstar Messi in the squad and in high form, Argentina is ranked by Asian experts as the top team in the 2022 World Cup semi-final against Croatia. Of course, with the odds mentioned above, NHM can see that the bookie is expecting Argentina to be the team to win and have tickets to go on to the final match.

However, if calmly analyzing the actual performance of Argentina and Croatia at the 2022 World Cup, Asian investors will have to be extremely careful before making a final decision. Of course, Argentina is still an attractive name when it comes to owning a quality squad, but it should be remembered that the South American team has a fluctuating performance.

Accordingly, they also only overcame the Netherlands in the quarter-finals thanks to a penalty shootout (after the two teams drew 2-2 in 120 minutes) and were the team that failed according to the Asian ratio. More broadly, Argentina lost two recent matches at the World Cup.

A statistic that should be particularly noted, Argentina has only won 1 time (in the official 90 minutes) in the last 7 encounters with European representatives at the World Cup.

In particular, Messi and his teammates lost 0-3 to Croatia at the 2018 World Cup. Thus, they lost 2 and only won 1 in the last 3 confrontations against Croatia - and lost all 3 matches. above.
