Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Croatia vs Scotland

Croatia

From the team that reached the final at the last World Cup, there was only a set of experienced and high-class players, but the bright team game disappeared. If in defense the Croats still show a high level, not allowing the opponents to create a lot of chances, then in attack things are very bad.

In the first round of the 2020 World Cup, the Checkers lost to England (0-1), conceding the only goal at the beginning of the second half, and they themselves were able to put only one shot on target at Pickford. After that, there was a vague game against the Czechs (1-1), but managed to get a point thanks to the individual skill of Perisic at the beginning of the second half. The opponent scored from the penalty spot in the 37th minute, in general, a draw is a natural outcome of the confrontation.

Scotland

The Scots got to the European Championship for the first time since 1996. They did not become" whipping boys", they showed a good level of play, however, they did not manage to distinguish themselves with at least one goal scored so far. In the first round, they lost to the Czechs (0-2), conceding a goal in each of the halves, and in the second round they shared points with England (0-0), playing sharper and more interesting in attack than a stronger opponent.

Game Totals Prediction

The last time the national teams crossed in the qualifying round for the 2014 World Cup, and then, interestingly, Scotland beat the Croats twice (1-0 and 2-0), but took only 4th place, while the "checkers" got to the World Cup through the play-offs. The upcoming meeting should be very interesting and combative, because both teams are not satisfied with a draw, and you only need a victory to have a good chance of reaching the playoffs. In favor of the Croats, the experience and class of players "speaks", and the Scots have good flanks, they look interesting in attack. The match, by the way, will take place in Glasgow, so the support of the "tartan army" will be provided. Despite the fact that both teams need to score, the match will not be rich in goals. With win-win bets, we see " Total Less (3.0)" for 1.44 and " Scotland with a Handicap (+1.0)" for 1.3. Given how poorly the Croats played in attack in the first two matches of the group stage, we do not believe in their success, and we recommend placing a bet on "Croatia Less (1.5)" for 1.65 or "X2" for 1.66.
