Croatia vs. Wales Tip

Details:

Croatia starts in the qualifiers for the 2024 European Championship with a match against Wales at home. This will be the first match of the Croats after the match for third place at the World Cup in Qatar, when they beat Morocco 2-1. Luka Modrić is still the first name of the team, but the young forces have fully matured to be able to carry a big load, such Guardiola, Sosa and Kramaric.

Wales also played in Qatar for the second time in history. Gareth Bale will no longer play for the national team, which makes things more difficult for the team from the island. Wales has not won since defeating Ukraine in the World Cup play-off. 

Key facts

• Croatia has won 4 of 6 games against Wales with 2 draws
• The last time these two played was in 2019, 1-1
• The other teams in this qualifying group are Turkey, Latvia and Armenia

Croatia finished third in the last World Cup and second in the previous one, making this small country a real football giant. Luka Modric will turn 38 this year but he is still in the team ready to lead them to another huge event such as the 2024 EURO. Croatia is the favorite in this group alongside Turkey and starting with a win is something they are targeting. Croatia has plenty of young players who can take over the game that will be played on the seaside in Split in front of packed stadium. Wales are a solid team with no real leadership after Garret Bales retired from the national team. Croatia will have a full control of the ball and the pace and patiently will attack the opponent. Croatia has a solid defense and will probably keep a clean sheet and on the other side will score just to win the game. With that scenario placing a bet on Croatia win and total under 4.5 goals on 1.64 is a perfect deal.
