Croatia Betting Preview

Croatia has had a slow start to the season and they have picked up only one point so far in the tournament. In the first game against Spain, Croatia was beaten 3-0, but in the last game tey bounced back and played to a 2-2 draw against Albania. It looked like they were going to pick up three points in the last game, until they gave up a goal in the 95th minute. Nikola Vlasic is dealing with an injury and has had to withdraw from the team. Luka Modric is going to stay in the starting lineup and he’s going to need to have a huge game. Croatia really needs to score the first goal to really try to put the pressure on. 

Italy Betting Preview

Italy has picked up three points so far in this tournament. In the first game of the tournament, Italy was able to beat Albania 2-1. I nthe last game though the offense couldn’t get anything going against Spain and they ended up losing 1-0. Italy had only 42 percent of the possesion and one shot on target, but it wasn’t enough. Italy is expected to make some changes to the starting lineup in this game. Matteo Darmian, Bryan Cristante, and Mateo Retegui are all players that could end up moving into the starting lineup here. 

Croatia vs Italy Prediction

Croatia’s offense is going to get off to a fast start here, and that is going to be the difference, as they are going to get the job done. Croatia has Modric, and he’s going to be the difference here. He’s going to score at least one goal in the first half. Italy’s offense is going to struggle to get scoring chances here, and Croatia will come out on top. Back Croatia on the money line to cash here.
