Both sides carry lessons from the World Cup and while Portugal still hold the place as European champions they will need to improve on their show at the World Cup and there is also a feel that they should start preparing for the exit of their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo. Croatia, on their part, will be parading most of the players who featured in Russia, especially the talisman, Luka Modric and a bunch of the team’s midfielder who made the side click in Russia. Missing Ronaldo in this game, will come with a leadership gap in the Portuguese team, as we have seen in earlier matches, and this will definitely be an issue for the home side. They have two wins in their last five matches and they face a team with four wins in five. Croatia have however won three of those after 90 minutes, twice on post match penalties. The Croats have scored at least twice in each of the last four matches while Portugal have attained the feat in three of the last five matches. Portugal have however managed two clean sheets in the five and Croatia none. This match is not expected to be as intense as the ones the two sides played in Russia a few months back; in their last seven friendly matches, Croatia have managed four wins, while Portugal have registered three wins in the same run.

Our Portugal vs Croatia Prediction
Portugal have never lost to Croatia, in fact, in the four meetings between the two sides, Portugal have won all but they will head to this game on the lower footing going by the fact they will be without Ronaldo, who is not only the talisman but also a leader, as well as some of the experienced players in the team. They face a Croatia side that will have all the major players around, which gives a good pick for Croatia to win, but having had just one game between them ending in over 2.5 goals, we can stake on this one too being a low scoring affair.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
