Argentina and Croatia have actually met at two World Cups, in 1998 and 2018. Both of those games, though, were in the group stages, with their upcoming match hovering as the most important between the two. This fixture has only been played five times before, with a rather high total of 12 goals scored.
On paper, there is no way to separate these two squads based on their historical performance. They have each won two games after drawing their first encounter 0-0 in 1994. Croatia has scored seven goals more than Argentina in five games, compared to five for Argentina. Notably, Lionel Messi has two goals in three meetings versus Croatia and enters this semifinal with four goals in five games in Qatar.

Argentina Team News
- The fullbacks for the Albiceleste, Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna, are suspended from this game due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
- Molina will continue at RB, whereas Nicolas Tagliafico will slot in to replace Acuna at LB.
- Alejandro Gomez, who had an ankle sprain and missed the action in the last game should be back to full fitness.
- Angel di Maria and Rodrigo de Paul, who have been nursing niggles of their own are also expected to be back to full fitness.
- Lionel Messi was in god mode against the Netherlands. He created the first goal from nothing. Scored a penalty after that in normal time. Took the first penalty in the shootout and scored there too. His influence will be key against Croatia.
- Scaloni opted for 5 at the back for the Netherlands game. He might go back to using 4 defenders and Lisandro Martinez could lose his place, which could mean di Maria is thrown back into the mix.
