In the race for the top two spots, Croatia now lags in Group 3. Trailing England by six points, the Croatians will have to pull off a major upset in England to come away with the win. Unfortunately, two factors are giving our experts pause: the Red and Blues’ momentum, as well as the result of the first leg. Remember, the team coached by Slaven Bilic lost 7-0 at home! A humiliating home defeat like that happens only once in a lifetime with the national team. Add that setback to the two losses to Spain, and you have a Vatreni side facing numerous uncertainties heading into kickoff.
For England, everything is going great! Thomas Tuchel’s men easily passed the test against the Czech Republic, with two wins without conceding a single goal during the previous international break. The Three Lions would like to give their fans a scenario similar to the first leg. There certainly won’t be seven goals, but a controlled victory is expected from the English. At the same time, Bellingham and his teammates have another goal in mind: the away match in Spain on November 15.

Our England vs Croatia Prediction
It’s not that we’re against Croatia, but we’re looking at a team that hasn’t refreshed its roster. Luka Modric can still work his magic, but that’s no longer enough. Facing an English team that’s superior on paper, we should see a one-sided match, especially if we look back at the first leg. Maybe not a 7-0, but an England victory is expected this Thursday.
Our England vs. Croatia prediction: England to win and over 1.5 goals!
