Over to the 7pm kick-offs and this is the game where Lionel Messi will finally get a 2018 World Cup break.
The Argentine No.10 has often cut a distraught figure and reports claim many of the players want manager Jorge Sampaoli to do one. Nigeria defeated Iceland in their last outing but, if Argentina get their team selection right [Note: there is talk of Sergio Aguero being dropped], they could leapfrog them.
Our bet for this game is for Messi to get the first Argentina goal, at 23/10.
We finish up with Iceland [on 1 point] as they try creep into second place with no-one noticing.
Our sea-faring neighbours looked dogged in their opening game draw with Argentina but Nigeria were deserved winners in their second outing. Croatia are all but guaranteed top spot so may ease off the throttle.
All things considered, though, we are going with Croatia to win this one, at 6/5, and claim maximum points in their group.Quiz: Can you put these big Premier League transfers in order
