Japan vs. Croatia: Match Preview
For the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the 2018 runner-ups Croatia and the tough Japan will face each other today at the Al Janoub Stadium. The Japanese managed to beat Spain and Germany in the group stage, and now will be looking for a new victory against an European national team. You can find out here how to watch it on TV or live stream in your country. Remember that if you are in the United States, you can follow all the action of this match on FuboTV (free trial).
The final phase begins for those who were one of the best in the last World Cup. Croatia are the current runners-up and this year they seek to improve what was done in Russia 2018, in which it could be the last World Cup for some of its main stars, for example, Luka Modric. In the group stage they had an acceptable performance, but without a doubt they need to show more if they want to return to a final again.
Their rivals will be the revelation team of this World Cup. Japan had possibly the most difficult group in Qatar 2022, with two world champions, Spain and Germany. The tough Japanese team scored two upset victories against the two European teams, earning their place in the round of 16 as leaders of group E.
