Croatia

Betting suggestion:

Finally the moment we all expected. On the one hand we have France that already won the World Cup on one occasion in 1998, on the other, a Croatian team that is not 'used' to play the final of this competition, having a third place in the 1998 World Cup. Curiously, France secured access to the 1998 World Cup final after beating Croatia by 2-1. Without great surprises, the French should dominate and hold the best chances to score, but the transitions of Croatia should create a lot of danger to the opponent. Taking into account all these factors, we believe in a very interesting final and with some beautiful goals.

Preview
France and Croatia face at Olimpiyskiy stadion Luzhniki, in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Final). There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 29‑03‑2011, the match ended with the final score: France (0‑0) Croatia.

Analysis France

They come to this stage of the World Cup (Final) after having played in the previous rounds against: Belgium, Uruguay and Argentina. France registers 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 matches for the World Cup.

They haven’t lost any of the last 6 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. They have been able to score first and have done so in 13 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 10 of those 13 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them.

France heads into this great final after beating Belgium by 1-0: the only goal of the team was signed by Umtiti. We remember that the French surpassed Argentina and Uruguay in the previous rounds. In the final against Croatia, France's squad find an opponent with several individual values, but even so, coach Didier Deschamps is expected to give priority to maintaining ball possession and organized attacks: Griezmann is the great organizer of the offensive process. In addition to this Atletico Madrid midfielder displays enormous technical quality in finalization. However, it is important to highlight that the defensive line is the strongest point of the French team, since conceded goals in 2 of the 6 matches played in this World Championship. In doubt for this match is Mendy due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Hugo Lloris, Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernández, Raphaël Varane, Samuel Umtiti, Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kanté, Blaise Matuidi, Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann.
Coach: D. Deschamps.

Analysis Croatia

They come to this stage of the World Cup (Final) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: England, Russia and Denmark. In the last 6 World Cup matches Croatia has a record of 6 wins. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times but have turned the score around in 4. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Croatia comes to this final motivated after beating England in extra-time after a 1-1 draw. It is important to remember that the Croats needed extra time and penalties in the previous rounds: Russia and Denmark. In this match against France, coach Zlatko Dalic is expected to enter the field in 4-3-3 favoring the low block and quick transitions to the attack, mainly through the left aisle: Perisic, a very offensive side, is a very fast player in the counter-attack. We emphasize the importance of Luka Modric in the tactical scheme of the Croatian team, being this phenomenal in the offensive process. One of the weakest points of this national team is in the defensive sector, having conceded goals in 4 of the 6 matches played in the competition. Apparently there are no weight absences for this game.

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