Preview
Croatia and Nigeria meet , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them.

Analysis Croatia

The team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got win against Senegal by (2‑1). In the last 10 matches Croatia has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 matches for all competitions: they have suffered 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Croatia have never won the World Cup in their history, having as their best campaign the third-place conquered at the 1998 World Cup in France. In the World Cup Qualifiers, the team finished second in Group I, behind the national team of Iceland. In the ten European World Cup qualifiers, Croatia were only beaten twice, being one of them against Iceland, managing another six wins and two draws. We believe that in this match, the Croatian national team, needing to win to leave in front of Group D opponents of the World Cup, will be superior to the Nigerian national team, as they have a better squad, especially in midfield with Rakitic and Modric, and showed in the Qualifiers that they are able to dominate more fragile opponents.

Confirmed Lineup: Danijel Subašić, Sime Vrsaljko, Ivan Strinić, Dejan Lovren, Domagoj Vida, Luka Modrić, Ivan Rakitić, Ivan Perišić, Ante Rebić, Mario Mandžukić, Andrej Kramarić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.

Analysis Nigeria

The team had direct access to this group stage. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got loss against Czech Republic by (0‑1). In the last 10 matches Nigeria has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times but have turned the score around in 3.

The Nigerian national team has never won the World Cup, having in their history three African Cup of Nations achievements, the last one won in 2013. They have as manager the 64-year-old German coach Gernot Rohr who is leading the national team for nineteen games, having added eleven wins, three draws and five defeats, but their opponents were not so strong, they were national teams such as Zambia, Cameroon, Algeria, African teams, which have no tradition in world football. Now in the World Cup the Nigerian national team will have many difficulties, in this next clash against Croatia, should face a better structured national team, used to face major European national teams.

Confirmed Lineup: Francis Uzoho, Bryan Idowu, Shehu Abdullahi, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Victor Moses, Oghenekaro Etebo, Wilfred Ndidi, John Mikel Obi, Odion Ighalo, Alex Iwobi.
