World Cup quarter-finals: Croatia vs Brazil, Holland vs ArgentinaGETTY
Three wins, and the 2022 World Cup is yours…
That’s the simple equation for this quartet, who are all vying for a place in the semi-finals of the competition.
Argentina and Brazil enter as favourites, and that would be the preferred option of the majority of neutrals, who would love to see a feisty South American showdown.
It’s the job of Holland and Croatia to stop that from happening, and the European duo are more than capable having both made the final in the last 12 years.

Croatia vs Brazil
Ain’t no stopping Brazil.
At least that’s what the bookmakers think having priced them at 11/5 to win their SIXTH World Cup.
Tite’s side were irresistible in their last 16 clash with South Korea, smashing in four goals in the opening 45 minutes.
It was the direct opposite for Croatia, who were often on the ropes and required a penalty shootout to get past underdogs Japan.
Luka Modric and Co. looked leggy and didn’t really have a focal point to cause any damage, which came as little surprise given they failed to score in two of their three group games.
Tite was afforded the luxury of making several changes in the second half to keep his squad fresh, and that could prove canny against this ageing Croatia.

Holland vs Argentina
Two sides with fantastic World Cup history clash at the Lusail Stadium on Friday.
And Argentina enter the contest as slight favourites at 23/20, while Holland are offered at 13/5 with the draw available at 21/10.
Lionel Messi’s side haven’t exactly done things the easy way.
They recovered from that shock defeat to Saudi Arabia with victories over Mexico, Poland and Australia.
The Aussies had offered very little in the last 16 but surprisingly pulled one back with 13 minutes remaining and could have levelled shortly after.
Argentina looked defensively vulnerable in that final 15 minutes and that could open the door to the Netherlands.
It’s certainly not a classic Dutch side but it still contains the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong, Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay.
And they’ve looked controlled, measured and capable of a big result under master tactician Louis Van Gaal.
Our pick: Holland to win at 13/5 with Betfair. New Betfair customers will receive £30 in free bets when they stake £10 on football. CLAIM HERE*
