Croatia vs Belgium

Tuesday's friendly at Stadion HNK Rijeka pits together Croatia and Belgium, the two nations that continue preparations for the World Cup finals. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw. Zlatko Dalic's men are looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Brazil, but their recent home form offers encouragement. The Croatians have won four of their last five home matches, averaging 2.4 goals scored per game in that stretch. Veteran playmaker Luka Modric could be rested after a demanding club campaign, though the return of Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol is a major boost. In-form winger Ivan Perisic is expected to start after impressive displays for PSV.

Belgium travel to Rijeka in excellent form, remaining unbeaten in their last ten matches while averaging a remarkable 3.5 goals per game. The Red Devils have scored in 90% of those fixtures and possess one of the most dangerous attacking units in Europe. Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku is unavailable through injury, but Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is fit and expected to lead the visitors creatively. Belgium’s away matches have also been entertaining lately, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent road fixtures.
