Czech Republic vs Croatia: betting tip (CF 2.14) and bets on the Nations League match

Current form

The Czech Republic made it to the World Cup through the play-offs with great difficulty. However, in North America, the wards of Miroslav Koubek could not show anything, although their group was not the strongest. In three matches with South Korea (1:2), South Africa (1:1) and Mexico (0:3), the national team scored only one point and left the tournament. After the end of the World Cup, Koubek was dismissed, and the first foreign specialist in the history of the national team was appointed in his place. Santi Denia, who won the gold medals of the Spanish Olympic team in 2024, prepared the Czechs for the matches in the League of Nations.

In the first match under the leadership of the new coach, the Czech national team will play with a far from optimal composition. Patrick Schick finished his career in the national team. Tomasz Soucek, Tomasz Hory, Lukasz Provod, David Winter and David Jurasek are injured. Losses, first of all, are serious in the line of defense.

Disqualifications and injuries

Yurasek, Hory, Vishinsky, Vlcek, Winter, Wire, Yarosh, Soucek and Rynesh are injured. Doudera, Kukhta, Khitil, Zelena and Stanek are out of the application.

Current form

Croatia avoided failure at the World Cup, got out of the group, but could not compete with the top teams. In the draughts quartet, they lost to England (2:4), and in the 1/16 finals they lost to Portugal (1:2). Due to experience, it is possible to beat rivals who are inferior in class, but it is obviously difficult against stronger opponents. After the World Cup, the Croats had a change of coach. Slaven Bilic, who led the national team from 2006 to 2012, was appointed to replace Zlatko Dalic.

There are no fundamental changes in the composition of Croatia. Experienced Ivan Perisic and Luka Modric have been called up for the first training camp. The squad is well–played - this is the advantage of the Croats over many rivals, including the Czech Republic.

Erlic and Juranovic will not be able to help their national team due to injuries.
