Croatia vs Belgium: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Belgium are in a do-or-die situation when they take on in-form Croatia in their final group game of the FIFA World Cup 2022. The Thursday evening fixture will undoubtedly be the most important match of Group F. with Croatia leading the pack with four points, Belgium are finding themselves in the third position. They have only three points from two games and that one victory was also a lucky win. Despite Canada being the better side for most of the game, the European nation edged them out 1-0 in their opener. Anything but the three points on Thursday could very well end Belgium’s World Cup adventure.

The Red Devils also have an outside chance of qualifying for the last-16 with a draw but that possibility is very slim. In this scenario, they would need Morocco to lose heavily to Canada since they have a superior goal difference of two. It seems unlikely that will happen. Morocco have emerged as the surprise package so far in their group. After holding out Croatia in their opener, they defeated Belgium in their last encounter. In that form, it is difficult to expect an already-eliminated Canada to defeat Morocco by a big margin. On the other hand, Croatia bounced back from dropping points in their opener to defeat Canada impressively in their last game. A draw will be enough for them to seal a round-of-16 place.
