For fifteen years, these two teams have met only once. And Croatia had the best of the Danes
(2-1). In this match, Croatia will go favorites. Luka Modric won all three pool
games against Nigeria (2-0), Argentina (3-0) and Iceland (2-1). The Danes have
only won one in this World Cup
against the Peruvians (1-0). In their other two games, they tied for Australia
(1-1) and France (0-0).
By finishing first in Group D, Croatia will avoid France and
face Denmark for a quarter-final
place in the World Cup. Three games,
three wins, the record is perfect for the teammates of Ivan Rakitic.
Denmark hoped to finish second in Group D
and after the 0-0 draw against France, the Danes achieved this goal. In the
first two games, the record is also mixed with a very difficult victory 1-0
against Peru and a 1-1 draw against Australia. To hope for a historic
qualification for the quarter-finals, Denmark will have to pass the Croatian
obstacle in the Nizhny Novgorod stadium.
