England vs. Croatia Tip & Quotas, 13.06.2021 – 15:00 o’clock
On Sunday afternoon, June 13, 2021 at 3 p.m., the group game at the European Championships between England and Croatia will take place in Wembley Stadium. The Three Lions and the Vatreni did not glorify themselves at the last EURO five years ago in France and both dropped out in the finals of the eighteen. For the British, the 2021 European Championship is the tenth round and for the Eastern Europeans, who were then also part of Yugoslavia, it has been the sixth round since 1996. Both nations have not yet been able to win an EM.

The 2016 European Championship in France was successful in a feasible group with Russia (1:1), Wales (2:1) and Slovenia (0:0) with only five points, but the bottom line was that it would not go far with this playful performance. In the final of the eighteen, the trip ended with embarrassment against Iceland (1-2). The Three Lions celebrated their greatest success at the 1966 World Cup by winning the title in the final against Germany thanks to a phantom goal. Thus, the motherland of football has been untitled for over 50 years.
Gareth Southgate’s national team played an almost perfect European Championship qualification with seven victories from eight games. Only the guest appearance in the Czech Republic was lost (1-2). In each victory, the English scored at least four goals – Czech Republic (5:0), Montenegro (5:1, 7:0), Bulgaria (4:0, 6:0) and Kosovo (5:3 and 4:0). Only Belgium (40 Qualitore) was even more accurate at the front than the Inselkicker (37).
With 1.01 billion euros, the English national team is the second most valuable team in the world. In the offensive alone, Captain Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur (120 million) and Raheem Sterling of Manchester City (100 million) are breaking the 100 million mark. In the midfield, Phil Foden (Manchester City) and Masoun Mount (Chelsea London) have the highest value and come together to 130 million euros. Combined with defense and attack, the 22-year-old Declan Rice (West Ham United) shines with outstanding achievements and is already valued at 60 million euros.
The squad doesn’t actually have any weaknesses, but if you want to find something, the defense is weaker than the rest. But even there, strong players can be found with Harry Maguire (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City) and two full-back defenders Ben Chilwell and Reece James of Chelsea London.

The vice world champion did better in France at least during the group stage and was able to successfully arrange two games. There were two victories against Turkey (1:0) and Spain (2:1), before the „Karierten“ only came in 2-2 against the Czech Republic. As a group winner, it was then with a lot of optimism in the eight-finals of the European Championships, where there was a 0-1 defeat against the later winner Portugal after overtime. It went better two years later at the World Cup in Russia with the entry into the final. In the final, the national team of Zlatko Dalic defeated France 2-4.
The Dalic elf had a light group during the European qualifying, but followed the English with a defeat and also split twice with a draw between Azerbaijan and Wales (each away with 1:1). In Hungary there was the only defeat in the competition (1:2). Thus the Croats proved their strength with four victories from four home appearances and won the group victory before the Welsh. The highest victory was celebrated in Slovakia (4-0).
The Croatian national team has its biggest defensive weakness. Compared to the other parts of the team, there are hardly any players in the defence who possess the very big class. Things are different further ahead – Marcelo Brozovic (Inter Milan) and Mateo Kovacic (Chelsea London) are in midfield together with the offensive midfielder Nikola Vlasic (ZSKA Moscow) and captain Luka Modric (Real Madrid) an axis of very high quality.
Croatia is attacking with former Frankfurt player Ante Rebic (AC Milan) and midfielder Andrej Kramaric (TSG Hoffenheim). Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan is one of the internal stars like Luka Modric, but they have already come into their own. The total value of the squad is 350 million euros.

England is favourite for victory against Croatia in Group D’s first European Championship game. The Three Lions are better occupied in any position and can beat any opponent at any time. Most of the time, however, there is a lack of implementation, otherwise, not only a single title would have been won (World Cup 1966), which was more than 50 years ago.
The Vatreni was in the World Cup final against France two years ago and won only the silver medal. At THE EURO 2016 in France, both nations already flew out in the quarter-finals and disappointed across the board. In this duel, we tapped victory for the Southgate elf.
Quite unspectacular is our choice for this EM 2021 tip forecast also on the 3-way betting England wins. Despite the favourite role of the “Three Lions“, the betting odds for England bets in this duel are on average 1.70, which can still be classified as lucrative.
