Russia - Croatia Football prediction

A lot of people will likely expect a defensive showing. However, from what I have seen in the tournament so far, there is a lot of potential that this game will open at an early stage. Croatia tends to start every game fast and surprise their opponents. Russia might have problems against the explosive power of Croatia's players in the final third.

That is not to say that Russia is toothless on the attacking front. They also have what it takes to score at least one goal. Home advantage, a bit crowd behind them, and so forth.

Expect at least 3 goals this game.
