Group F: Morocco vs Croatia (3:30 p.m. IST)
The first of the four battles scheduled for Wednesday will witness Morocco going toe-to-toe against Croatia at the Al Bayt Stadium. Croatia, the 2018 edition runners-up, have undergone a change in four years’ time. While the performances haven’t been of the same standard, with some quality players, Luka Modric & Co will be confident. However, Morocco equally have quality on their side as well.

The likes of Achraf Hakimi and Hakim Ziyech are world-renowned players. Even though it is their second appearance, a Ziyech-Hakimi-inspired performance could very well stun Croats.
The two teams have been in excellent form of late. Both Croatia and Morocco are undefeated in their past five matches. Interestingly, they have only met once before, way back in 2017. The match went to penalties, with Croatia winning 7-6. Fans won’t mind if the two teams put on a similar show again on Wednesday in Qatar. Despite slow starters, Croatia is expected to win their opening game against Morocco.
Morocco Predicted XI: Bounou; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui; Amallah, Amrabat, Ounahi; Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal.
Croatia Predicted XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Sutalo, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Vlasic, Kramaric, Perisic.

Group E: Germany vs Japan (6:30 pm IST)
The 2nd match of the day will be crucial for Germany. With a new coach at the helm, this is Germany’s time for a resurgence. They will look to put their humiliating Group Stage Exit in the last edition in the past. But Germany will be wary of Japan threat. Their loss to South Korea is still fresh and against another Asian giant, Manuel Neuer & Co will be careful.
Under Hansi Flick, the team has looked promising but has failed to deliver results. Germany has a tough draw with Spain and Costa Rica in the group. The four-time champions need to make a strong start against Japan to progress to the next round. Their recent performances, though, don’t give fans much hope this time around.
With Japan, the expectations are pretty low. They have won just one out of their last eight World Cup appearances. However, the team made it to the Round of 16 in the last edition of the World Cup. Japan will need more than just strategies and a bit of luck to hand Germany their first defeat. In the four matches played between the two sides, Germany has won twice, with the other two ending in draws.

Germany has added motivation going into the tournament. A tournament win for the Manuel Neuer-led side will help them equal Brazil’s long-standing record of five World Cup titles.
Germany Predicted XI: Neuer; Kehrer, Sule, Rudiger, Raum; Kimmich, Gundogan; Gnabry, Musiala, Sane; Muller
Japan Predicted XI: Gonda; Sakai, Tomiyasu, Yoshida, Nagatomo; Shibasaki, Endo, Kamada; Ito, Asano, Minamino

Group E: Spain vs Costa Rica (09:30 pm IST)
The 11th match of the World Cup comes from Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, where 2010 edition champions Spain takes on Costa Rica, again from Group E. Spain in particular has a point to prove, who hasn’t been at its best in the World events in the past decade. Spain has a young side, and under Sergio Busquets, it will look to not only impress but go the distance in Qatar.

On the contrary, Costa Rica’s unit is packed with veterans led by Brian Ruiz. They have been an improved side, but from the outside, beating Spain looks out of their reach unless there is an upset. Spain has battled Costa Rica twice in the past and won both of them. The previous meeting between the two sides resulted in Spain winning 5-0 over Costa Rica in 2017. The fans can only hope that they witness a close encounter, which looks highly unlikely despite Spain’s young line-up.
Spain Predicted XI: Simon; Carvajal, Laporte, P Torres, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, Gavi; F Torres, Morata, Williams.
Costa Rica Predicted XI: Navas; Martinez, Calvo, Duarte, Oviedo; Tejeda, Bennette, Torres; Borges, Contreras, Campbell

Group F: Belgium vs Canada (12:30 am IST)
The last offering of the day is a Group F fixture and will take the football fans to the Al Rayyan Stadium in Qatar. A power-packed Belgium unit will take on a young and inexperienced Canada in their opening match of the World Cup. Belgium has a star-studded line-up with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, and Thibaut Courtois in their lineup. Star forward Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to feature in the starting XI due to an injury. The only thing Belgium needs to be wary of is complacency. Despite having a star-studded line-up, the Eden Hazard-led unit has been a disappointment on the world stage.

Canada has shown improvement on their way to the World Cup, which is evident in them making it to the world stage for the first time in 36 years. According to coach John Herdman, the nation is expecting huge things from the side. However, even a draw against Belgium will be no less than a victory for the Atiba Hutchinson-led unit on Wednesday.
Belgium Predicted XI: Courtois; Dendoncker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Meunier, Witsel, Tielemans, Carrasco; De Bruyne, E Hazard; Batshuayi.
Canada Predicted XI: Borjan; Johnston, Vitoria, Miller; Laryea, Eustaquio, Hutchinson, Adekugbe; Buchanan, Larin, David.
In safe hands. 🧤 #DEVILTIME pic.twitter.com/4tzDUenkQZ
