Croatia VS Denmark

Nature of competition: 1/8 finals

Time: 2:00 on July 2, 2018

Match analysis

Croatia's match against Denmark was the second meeting between the two sides at the international level. At Euro 1996 22 years ago, Croatia, led by Suker and Boban, defeated the defending champions Denmark 3-0 over the Laudrup brothers and Kasper Schmeichel in their first major tournament.

Now, Boban's successor to the national team is 33 years old, and standing in front of the door of the Danish team is none other than the legendary goalkeeper's son Schmeichel, and Eriksen has become the new core player of the Danish team.

The "Plaid Army" won all three games in the group stage, and only Uruguay had the same performance among the teams that had finished the group stage. They have plenty of reason to be the biggest dark horse in this tournament. However, Denmark were not easy to deal with, having been excellent defensively in the group stage, conceding just one penalty against Australia, and the heart of the team, Christian Eriksen, was in good form and could cause Croatia problems at that point.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time that Croatia have qualified for the group stage of the World Cup since 1998, and they have returned home in the group stage in 2002, 2006 and 2014. Prior to that, they had only made it past the group stage twice at the European Championships, but both fell in the first round of the knockout rounds.
