Preview:
Croatia were lucky to get a point against Morocco as they played just five shots in the entire game. The 2018 WC runners up were "too defensive" in their approach as claimed by coach Zlatko Dalic after the game.
The side is currently on second place in the Group F standings after one game and a win here will put them in contention for Round of 16 spot.
Canada, on the other hand, despite the loss, were the better side. The Canucks hit 21 shots in the game and were awarded a penalty which was saved by Belgium's wall Courtois. The side will be hoping to repeat the same performance with the only exception of luck, which wasn't on their side in the previous fixture.
