I still remember the scene from eight years ago when Croatia eliminated us in the semi-finals. That year, the entire team's rhythm was completely controlled by Modric, and we missed the chance to reach the final. This time, when the two teams face off again, England's lineup has already undergone a generational change, with a clear gap in attacking power and midfield running intensity.

Croatia's biggest problem is that their key players are relatively old, and their physical fitness will decline significantly in the second half, so they can only rely on counterattacks and set pieces to create threats. Combining attack and defense data with the tactical matchups between the two teams, I ultimately predict England will win with a score of 2-1.

Recently, I have been closely monitoring this match's betting odds, with a small position placed on the home team. #预测世界杯英格兰VS克罗地亚
