Croatia vs Argentina - Head to Head, key stats, predicted starting XIs, road to quarter finals, venue details and more

It's time for the first semi-final of Qatar 2022. Early morning Wednesday (India time), the runners-up of the last edition of the World Cup, Croatia will take on two time champions Argentina, who are eyeing their first title since 1986 and also the first one for their superstar player and captain, Lionel Messi.

If Argentina win, they will be one step closer to the title that has eluded them for the last 36 years, while if Croatia win they would have accounted for the two big South American heavyweights in this edition - Brazil and Argentina and will enter a second successive World Cup final. In 2018, they lost to eventual champions, France. Argentina last played a World Cup final in the 2014 edition, when they lost to eventual champions, Germany.
