France vs Croatia Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by James | in UEFA Nations League Prediction
France play their first home game of the Nations League campaign against Croatia in a League A match on Tuesday night. France missed out on the finals of last season's tournament on goal difference with Netherlands topping a group also featuring Germany. Croatia can count their lucky stars that UEFA revamped the format following the inaugural campaign, otherwise they would have been relegated to League B after finishing bottom of a group featuring England and Spain. You won't need reminding of the last encounter between France and Croatia as it was the 2018 World Cup final. France outclassed a jaded Croatian side with a 4-2 win that featured goals from Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe. Previous matches also went the way of the French with four wins and zero defeats overall in six matches against Croatia. The French have a magnificent starting eleven with depth to rival any country in the world. Players like Umtiti, Aouar, and Zouma would be starters for other teams but didn't even make this French squad. The French are second in the group after one match thanks to their 1-0 win in Sweden. Croatia are bottom after being battered 4-1 in Portugal.
Croatia will again be without leading figures like Modric and Rakitic for this clash. They are going through a changing-of-the-guard transition and their current squad only features four players over the age of 30. This can be reflected in their away results coming into this campaign with only one win from the seven away games that followed the World Cup final. Scoring goals away has been a problem and they have only managed to find the back of the net more than once in one of those seven matches. France are in much better shape, only losing two of their last 26 matches. They are currently unbeaten in seven with six of those seven results being wins. At home, they are unbeaten in 18 games, winning 15. We expect them to continue that positive run with another win here.
