The national team of Zlatko Dalic withstood the pressure in their home game against Sweden and went on to break with a 1-0 half-time lead. Vlasic scored the first goal for the home team after just over half an hour (31st). In the second 45 minutes, the first victory in the Nations League was suddenly far away. The Scandinavians were able to equalise 1:1 by ex-Hamburg Markus Berg (66th). In the final phase Hoffenheim’s forward Kramaric proved his scorer and scored for the redeeming 2-1 victory for the Vatreni (84th).
The Dalic-Elf took the first victory in the ongoing competition with a 2-1 win against Sweden. In the two games before in Portugal (1:4) and France (2:4) there were two gossips. Should the Croats collect the third bankruptcy in the fourth game, this would be almost equivalent to the premature end of the group phase. The 2018/19 season in the Nations League was already a group last to get used to. Only by increasing the team size of the A-League did the World Cup finalist avoid relegation to League B in 2018.
Croatia’s European Championship qualification went much better last year with only one defeat from eight games (five wins, two draws). The runner-up world champion in Group D will meet England and the Czech Republic in the 2021 final round. The fourth national team has not yet been decided.
After 106 international matches for Croatia, Ivan Rakitic announced his retirement from the national team. In the summer the midfielder returned to FC Seville and left FC Barcelona. Bundesliga regional Andrej Krmaric makes for more positive headlines. The forward from Kraichgau not only scored the winning goal against Sweden, but is also currently leading the list of goalscorers in the German league with six goals.

The reigning world champion and the guests from Portugal scored a weak international game with few highlights. Cristiano Ronaldo had the first real goal chance for the European Champion (24th) and on the other hand Rui Patricio took a full shot from Griezmann (32nd). Otherwise, there was not much going on in the first leg of the game. In the second 45 minutes Mbappe appeared free in front of Rui Patricio, the European champion was victor in the one-on-one against the world champion (47th). The national team of Didier Deschamps was the more active team after the break, but both teams showed a mixed performance. In the final phase Pepe’s header goal did not count due to offside (73.). In the aftermath, the Portuguese were closer to winning – Renato Sanches (91st) and CR7 (92nd) awarded the last-minute victory in Paris.
After the first two victories in Sweden (1:0) and at home against Croatia (4:2), the Deschamps Elf scored the first points at the zero on the weekend against Portugal. The very first Dutch season two years ago in a group with Holland and Germany was promising until the last match day. The game for the group victory in the Netherlands went 2-0 to Oranje and thus ranked first and the Dutch semi-finals were lost.
Last week, the Tricolore team convinced in a friendly match and beat Ukraine 7-1 at home. The 2019 European Championship qualifying also ran convincingly over long distances with only one bankruptcy for the world champion. In the remaining nine qualifying games there were eight wins and a draw. The defeat occurred in Turkey in June 2019 (0-2). Next year, fans will be expecting hot games at the final round of the European Championships. Germany and Portugal have so far been waiting in Group F.

France is Croatia’s favourite for victory. The duel between the two national teams has been more frequent in recent years and is now taking place for the third time since the 2018 World Cup Final in Russia. The Tricolore team won the final against the Vatreni for the second time two years ago (4-2) and won the new edition of the World Cup final in the Nations League in Paris with the same result a few weeks ago. After the weak zero number of the Deschamps elf against Portugal a few days ago, the vice world champion could be on the rise against Sweden after the first threesome in the NL on the weekend and rise again with more confidence. Nevertheless, we are predicting a narrow victory for the French in Zagreb with goals on both sides. For this tip forecast we favor the 3-way bets on France wins, where betting odds wave in the range around 2.00 to 2.10.
