Japan vs Croatia, FIFA World Cup 2022: Dream11 Prediction, Possible Line-ups and Fantasy Tips

This
has
been
a
fantastic
World
Cup
campaign
for
Japan
so
far.
The
Asian
giants
topped
Group
E
that
consisted
of
former
world
champions
like
Spain
and
Germany
and
still
managed
to
top
the
group.

Hajime
Moriyasu’s
side
defeated
both
Spain
and
Germany
to
make
their
way
to
the
last
16
and
will
surely
have
little
fear
ahead
of
their
clash
against
Croatia.

Croatia,
meanwhile,
are
no
longer
the
team
they
used
to
be
and
have
not
really
been
truly
convincing
in
the
World
Cup
this
time
out.
They
scrapped
their
way
to
the
last
16
by
coming
second
from
Group
F
behind
Morocco
and
ahead
of
Belgium.

However,
Croatia
have
a
very
strong
side
with
a
perfect
blend
of
youth
and
experience
and
it
won’t
be
too
much
of
a
surprise
if
they
pick
up
the
gear
from
here
on.

vs
Croatia

Japan
vs
Croatia
Key
players
to
watch
out:

Japan:
For
the
Blue
Samurais,
this
has
been
a
wonderful
campaign
and
solid
team
effort
to
make
their
way
to
the
Round
of
16.
They
must
be
very
resolute
defensively
and
to
ensure
that,
experienced
Japan
skipper
Maya
Yoshida
needs
to
come
up
with
a
solid
game.

Croatia:
It’s
hard
to
name
any
one
but
Luka
Modric
when
we
have
to
name
the
key
player
for
Croatia.
The
veteran
midfielder
has
been
another
name
for
consistency
over
the
years
and
will
be
the
Croatian
star
man
against
Japan.

Japan
vs
Croatia
prediction:

This
would
be
a
very
difficult
game
to
call
considering
Japan
have
already
beaten
teams
like
Germany
and
Spain.
However,
the
experience
of
the
Croatia
side
suggests
that
they
will
be
more
wary
of
the
Asian
giants.
We
predict
a
1-2
win
for
Croatia.
