Command Analysis

Croatia

Croatia (Hrvatska)

Current form

The Croatian national team failed at the European Championship in Germany in the summer, and also had a poor first match in the League of Nations. It is obvious that Zlatko Dalic's team in such a group expects to fight for at least the second place, but they failed to give Portugal a full fight. The 1:2 defeat to the Portuguese in the first round obliges them to improve, one more mistake can seriously complicate the task.

Disqualifications and injuries

Nikola Vlasic and Josip Stanisic will not play.

Interesting trends for betting

Croatia have not won in their last four matches – two defeats and two draws
Croatia have scored in their last three matches

Tentative line-up : Livakovic - Shutalo, Chaleta-Tsar, Guardiol - Jakic, Kovacic, Modric, Sosa - Sučić, Budimir, Kramaric.

Poland

Current form

The Polish national team, after a complete fiasco at the Euro, where the "white-reds" became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament, managed to put up a very high-quality match in Glasgow. In the confrontation with Scotland, with whom Michal Probierz's team will most likely fight for third place in the group, the Poles showed their strongest side, managing to win 3:2 and lead the group at the end of the first round.

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors have no problems with their line-up.

Interesting trends for betting

Poland lost only one of three matches against Croatia
Poland have scored in their last six matches

Tentative line-up : Skorupski – Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior – Frankowski, Szymanski, Zielinski, Urbanski, Zalewski – Buksa, Lewandowski.

Tip and bets

1.89both will score

The Croatian national team will certainly be maximally motivated after the defeat to Portugal and no other result but victory will satisfy the hosts. There are plenty of problems in the game of the "checkers", but at the same time, the Croatians are quite capable of improving at home and playing first number against such an opponent as Poland. The guests, in turn, are very dangerous on counterattacks and set pieces, have a high implementation rate, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.

We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89

1.8Croatia's victory

Bet on the outcome

Croatia is not particularly impressive, did not play the best at the Euro, failed to give Portugal a fight. However, the Croatians are a very experienced team, there are enough high-level players in the squad, there are options for a targeted rotation. Playing from a position of strength and getting the first victory in the group, the "checkers" are quite capable, there are plenty of weak points to Poland.

Bet - Croatia win. This bet is offered with odds of 1.80
