Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Croatia vs Czech Republic

Croatia

Zlatko Dalic's men cannot boast of a reliable game, in the last 10 matches the team has won four times, and played three times and lost. In the League of Nations, Croatia made it to the playoff round, but failed to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. In the first match of the World Cup qualification, the "flaming ones" easily dealt with the outsider of the selection, defeating Gibraltar 7:0 away. Goals for the "checkers" were scored by Kramaric (two goals), Ivanovic (two goals), Perisic, Pašalić and Budimir. Now Dalic's men are waiting for one of the direct competitors in the fight for a ticket to the World Cup.

Czech Republic

Lokomotiv have gained great momentum, the team even had a series of eight matches without defeat. Ivan Hasek's team performed well in the UEFA Nations League, managing to win a place in the elite division. In the World Cup qualifiers, the Czech Republic shows itself as best as possible, winning the opening three matches. In the last qualifying match, the team beat Montenegro 2:0 at home. Shik and Hložek scored a goal each for the Czechs. The Czech team is in 1st place in the standings, having scored 9 points after three matches, with a goal difference of 8:1.

Game Totals Prediction

Croatia has always been a favorite in the qualification in recent years, and it performs solidly in major tournaments. The Czech national team is a middling team in European football, and the team does not always manage to overcome the selection. Now the teams look equal. The "checkered ones" have not lost on their home field for a long time, and the Czechs in general have a solid series without failures. I think that the teams will exchange accurate strikes: both will score - yes - 1.84.
