Croatia vs. Czech Republic Tips & Quotas, 18.06.2021 – 18:00
The national teams from Croatia and the Czech Republic will play on Friday evening, June 18, 2021 at 6 p.m., in the Hampden Park in Glasgow for three important points on the second day of the European Football Championship. The Vatreni lost their opening game against England and was weak. The Reprezentace was able to beat Scotland last Monday and leads Group D ahead of England, Croatia and Scotland after the first match day.

Zlatko Dalic’s national team was immediately under pressure at London’s Wembley Stadium. The Three Lions set off like the fire brigade and hit the post through Foden after six minutes. The fast runners Foden and Sterling repeatedly confused the vice world champion in the defensive. But since Phillips also failed with a full range shot (9.), the Vatreini survived the beginning quarter of an hour undamaged. Then the international flattened every minute. The islanders seemed to have shot their powder. Not much happened on both sides until the break whistle. After the change of sides, it remained sluggish at first, before the “home team“ increased with increasing playing time and earned a 1-0 score through sterling (57th). With the lead in the back and loud English fans, the 1966 World Champion increased further and gave good shot opportunities through Kane (61st), Mount (67th) and Sterling (74th). The Croats did not manage to create a single big chance in 90 minutes and so there was a well-deserved defeat at the start of the European Championships.
The Dalic-Elf did not increase after the failed European Championship general test against Belgium (0-1) and also lost the opening match against the English. For the Vatreni it was the third defeat this year. The first game in the World Cup qualification in Slovenia was also lost 0-1. After that there were two mandatory victories against the football dwarves Cyprus and Malta.
With Dejan Lovren of Zenit St. Petersburg, the Croats still lack an important central defender alongside Duje Caleta-Car of Olympique Marseille due to injury.

The Czech national team can thank Leverkusener Schick for their 2-0 victory against not even bad Scots. The British got some good chances in the Hampten-Park in Glasgow by Dykes (18th, 66th), Robertson (32nd), Hendry (48th, Lattenkracher), Armstrong (61st) and McTominay (77th), but did not use them. The national team of Jaroslav Silhavy beat Patrik Schick on both goals at the best time. The first goal was scored by head shortly before the break (42nd) and shortly after the restart with a dream goal of almost 50 meters Schick scored 2:0 (52nd) by jack. Scotland had almost twice as many shots (19:10), more tackles won (54%) and more possession (58%), but zero goals and zero points.
After the successful dress rehearsal, the Silhavy team confirmed the good form with a 3-1 victory against Albania and also won against Scotland at the start of the European Championships. There were two out of three victories this year. The prelude to the World Cup qualifying also went 6-2 in Estonia to the Reprezentace. This was followed by a good draw against Belgium and then again a 0-1 draw in Wales. The test kick on June 4 in Italy was also lost (0-4).
Blocks or injuries are not known, so the Czechs can compete against the vice world champion in the best cast.

Although Croatia will be the favourite in the second day of the European Championships against the Czech Republic, we still do not see the match as a decisive one. The Reprezentace was able to win the three points against Scotland in Glasgow, but the British were better in both a playful and statistical sense. The Vatreni has completely disappointed against England and has not been able to get a real goal chance. If the vice world champion fails to improve her performance against the Czechs, she will also lose the second game at the European Championships. We predict that the Silhavy elf will remain unbeaten in the EURO and will get at least one counter in a low-goal match in Glasgow.
Personally, we favor the Under 2.5 Goals bets for the EM Tip Forecast. The sports betting tip wins if no more than two goals are scored in the match between Croatia and the Czech Republic. The betting odds offered for this are in the range around 1.60+.
