Team news before Argentina vs Croatia

Argentina:
Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel must be replaced since they have been suspended for receiving too many yellow cards. As a result of this, Nicolas Tagliafico will likely start in Acuna's place because he is a skilled passer who can provide Argentina's offense with a dynamic presence.
They will also benefit from Angel Di Maria's comeback, who was only able to play against the Netherlands because he was still recovering from an injury.
The key player will be Messi, but even if he can't add to his four goals and two assists, Argentina has other players who can strike against Croatia.


Croatia:
Dominik Livankovic and Dejan Lovern have held off every attack that has gone their way in defense, but thanks to a midfield headed by Luka Modric, most of the bite has been taken out of attacks by the time it reaches the defense.
Restricting Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, and Mateo Kovacic will be challenging for Argentina. Nevertheless, it won't matter if Croatia's assault cannot find a free space. Ivan Perisic can help in this situation.
Ivan has been essential in order to free up strikers and get control of the ball in the attacking third. He has a solid chance of winning the game if he can damage Argentina's backline.
