LiontipsPanama vs Croatia: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the opening round, Panama was defeated by Ghana with a minimum score of 0:1. Now the chances of the playoffs are slim, as the remaining two rounds will feature group favorites Croatia and England. Thomas Christiansen's men played number one against the African national team, had possession of the ball for 62% of the playing time, but they could not score. The opponent acted on the counterattacks and was able to distinguish himself in the very end. On the eve of the match with Croatia, it is alarming that the key players in the center of the field, Carrasquilla and Godoy, have not yet fully recovered due to injuries and cannot prove themselves. Against this background, it will be difficult to match the experienced midfielders of the Croats.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carrasquilla's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The Panamanian national team has lost three of the last four matches, conceding at least two goals.
- In seven of Panama's previous nine matches, more than two offsides were recorded.
Approximate composition: Mosquera – Ramos, Cordoba, Andrade– Murillo, Barcenas, Harvey, Blackman–Martinez, Waterman, H. Rodriguez.
Current form
At the start of the group stage, Croatia could not withstand the pressure from the England attack for 90 minutes and was defeated with a score of 2:4. In the first half, we managed to win back twice, the teams left for the break with the score 2:2. The second half was completely under the control of the British, who scored nine shots on target and scored two more goals. Dalic's men frankly failed defensively, especially at the standards: they conceded two of the four goals after corners. The defeat was not a tragedy, the chances of reaching the playoffs are still high, but now there is virtually no room for error in matches against Panama and Ghana, which are noticeably inferior in class.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Croatian national team has no losses.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches involving Croatia, there has been an exchange of goals scored.
- In five of the Croats' seven previous matches, a total bet of more than 9.5 corners was played.
Approximate squad: Livakovic – Stanisic, Shutalo, Pongracic, Guardiol – Kovacic, Modric – Sucic, Baturina, Perisic – Budimir.

Tip and bets
Croatia has no right to make mistakes in the upcoming match. Experience often comes to the fore in such meetings, here the undoubted advantage is on the side of checkers, which includes the Modric–Kovacic bundle in the center of the field. For Modric, the upcoming match could be the 200th for the national team. Panama may have problems in the center of the field, given the far from optimal form of Carrasquilla and Godoy.
The Croats managed to hit England's goal twice, which few people manage. Panama's defense is not so reliable, obviously Zlatko Dalic's team can compensate for their frequent defensive mistakes by attacking. Moreover, the team has large forwards Budimir and Musa ahead of them in the attack, the latter has already scored a goal against the British. We expect that the Balkan national team will score three points based on experience and due to the advantage in class and individual skill.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Croatia by a factor of 1.85
Bet on the total
Croatia's defense was not reliable in friendly matches, when they conceded twice against Belgium and once against Slovenia. The problems with England have not disappeared, especially with standard positions. Panama is capable of scoring its own goal today. At the same time, the Croats have an excellent selection of performers in attack, they can make the most of a few moments, which was shown by the match with the same British. There is a high probability that there will be an exchange of goals scored today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.93
A bet on yellow cards
When choosing a bet on yellow cards, let's pay attention to the promising trend in Croatia. The players of this national team received fewer warnings than their opponents in four of the previous five matches. Considering that Panama will obviously spend a lot of time destroying attacks, most likely, the draughts trend will work this time.
The prediction is that Panama will win on yellow cards with a coefficient of 1.92
