Before you make any Croatia vs. Japan picks or 2022 FIFA World Cup predictions, you MUST see what renowned soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. He is an impressive 48-25-1 on his Premier League picks for SportsLine in 2022, for a profit of almost $1,800 for $100 bettors. He also went 20-12 on his World Cup Qualifying picks, for a return of almost $600. He is 13-18-1 on World Cup picks through the group stage.

Eimer knows the Croats are a veteran team on a 10-game unbeaten run (8-2-0). They just went toe to toe with the No. 2 team in the world, ousting Belgium from the tournament. They also blasted a promising young Canada team 4-1. Midfielder Luka Modric is 37 now, but he still has the vision and skill to set up the team's other playmakers, including Andrej Kramaric, who had two goals against the Canadians.

The expert also has considered that Japan look like a team on a mission, beating Spain for the top spot of Group E. They allowed Spain to control the ball for a whopping 83% of the game, but midfielders Ritsu Doan and Ao Tanaka scored three minutes apart early in the second half. Japan's only loss in their past nine games was a 1-0 setback to Costa Rica, and they showed a lot of grit in subsequent matches to move on.
