Command Analysis
Croatia
Croatia (Hrvatska)Current form
Croatia played in the same group with Portugal, Scotland and Poland. It was quite expected that they failed to compete for the first place with the Portuguese, but the checkers won the second place, beating the Scots by only one point. They have not won a single victory in the last three rounds. It seemed that Zlatko Dalic's team would not be able to qualify for the playoffs, but the draw in the final match with Portugal (1-1) was the key.
In general, the Croats did not demonstrate outstanding and stable play in the group stage, either in attack or defense. The national team became the only one among all the quarterfinalists of the League of Nations, which does not have a positive goal difference (8:8). It should be noted that it was largely possible to qualify for the playoffs due to successful home performances: the team scored seven out of eight points on its own field, where it did not suffer a single defeat. The Croats had both defeats in the group away from Portugal (1:2) and Scotland (0:1).
Let's remind, Croatia made it to the finals in the last League of Nations draw. At that time, the Spanish national team, which was stronger in the penalty shootout, did not allow them to win the trophy. It won't be easy to repeat that success, as the team is going through a generational change.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injury, only Sucic will not help his national team today.
Interesting betting trends

- Croatia has not lost in the League of Nations on its own field in five previous matches (three wins and two draws)
- In nine of the last ten home matches in the League of Nations, the Croats scored goals.
Approximate squad: Livakovic – Sosa, Chaleta-Tsar, Shutalo, Guardiola – Kovacic, Modric – Perisic, Matanovic, Baturina – Kramaric.
France
FranceCurrent form
France started in the League of Nations with a 1-3 defeat against Italy. In the future, Didier Deschamps' team improved significantly, scored four wins and allowed themselves to misfire only in the game against Israel (0-0). Before the final round, the French were in second place in the group, but they took convincing revenge on the Italians with a score of 3:1 and beat them in additional indicators.
Overall, the team's performance in the group stage was not perfect. However, a characteristic feature of the national team is the ability to show their best in key matches. That's exactly what we saw in the final match against Italy. Then, by the 33rd minute, the French were leading 2-0, did not slow down throughout the game and clearly used their few chances and mistakes of the opponent.
It is impossible to ignore the fact that the French national team won all three away matches in the group, hitting the opponents' goal at least twice. This is not a big surprise, since the leaders of PSG and Mbappe are present in the attack. With such an attack, you can safely count on success in duels with any opponents. It is no coincidence that France is currently the strongest team on the continent according to the FIFA ranking.
Disqualifications and injuries
On the eve of the match against Croatia, Marcus Thuram was forced to leave the national team due to injury. The Inter player has an ankle injury.
Interesting betting trends

- France has not lost in nine of the ten previous away matches in the League of Nations (seven wins and two draws)
- In five of the last six official face-to-face meetings, France has not lost to Croatia.
- The exchange of goals scored was recorded in three of the four previous matches of the French national team.
Approximate line–up: Menyan - Kunde, Saliba, Konate, Digne – Douai, Tchuameni, Rabiot – Dembele, Mbappe, Barkola.

1.75Tip and bets
Croatia did not get out of the group without problems, in many ways it was possible to do this due to successful performances on their own field. However, it is unlikely that this factor will become a key factor for draughts today. You will have to play against the superior French national team, which feels very confident on the road, having won all three matches in foreign arenas at the group stage of the League of Nations. The visitors have a very powerful attack that knows how to make the most of it even when the game as a whole is not going well for the national team. We expect that Didier Deschamps' players will create a reserve for themselves before the return home game today.
Our betting tip is that France will win by a factor of 2.10
Bet on the total
In all three away matches in the current Nations League draw with the participation of the French national team, an exchange of goals was recorded. Didier Deschamps' team has no problems attacking, given the excellent selection of performers, but it will be difficult to win back against experienced Croats. Moreover, the checkers in each of the three matches in the group on their own field hit the opponents' goal.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.78
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Croatia has an experienced team that is unlikely to allow itself a crushing defeat on its own field. At the same time, the French have won four of the last five victories with an advantage of one or two goals. We think Victoria will have the same style of guests today.
The betting tip is for France to win by one or two goals with a coefficient of 2.65
