LiontipsCroatia vs Spain: betting tip (cf 1.77) and bets on the Nations League match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Croatian national team started in the League of Nations with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic. We managed to win that match due to experience. However, nothing has worked out further at the level of top rivals in the experience, veterans are not ready for such challenges, and even in conditions of a busy schedule of games. At first, checkers lost to Spain with a score of 1 on the road.:4. In the third round, they suffered the biggest defeat in history on their own field – they lost to the England national team with a score of 0:7. With three points in the asset, Slaven Bilic's team are in third place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Erlic and Juranovic are injured, and Smolcic's return to the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In five consecutive matches with Croatia, more than two goals have been scored.
- In four consecutive matches, Croatia's national team players fouled more often than their opponents.
Approximate squad: Kotarski – Stanisic, Shutalo, Pongracic, Guardiol – Jakic, P. Sucic – Marko Pasalic, Vlasic, Baturina – Belo.
Current form
Spain confirms the status of the Group 3 favorite and takes the first place after three rounds with nine points. The most difficult match for the red fury was expected to be the first round match against England at Wembley, where they had to fight back from the score 1:2, but in the end they still won 3:2. Then the Spaniards beat Croatia (4:1) and the Czech Republic (3:1) without any problems. Luis de la Fuente's players play from a position of strength, they are not afraid to miss, as an attack can fix everything at any moment. The Spaniards have a solid squad depth, the head coach constantly resorts to rotation, but the quality of the game is consistently at a high level.
Disqualifications and injuries
Porro, J. Garcia, E. Garcia, Grimaldo, F. Torres and N. Williams are injured, F. Ruiz is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the previous four matches, the Spaniards fouled less often than their opponents.
- In each of the three matches in the League of Nations, the Spanish national team scored at least three goals.
Approximate line–up: Simon – Pubille, Kubarsi, Heysen, Cucurella – Merino, Rodri, F. Lopez - Yamal, Oyarzabal, Pinault.
Trends
Betting 1st half: Spain's victory
In three of the last five matches, Spain has won in the first half.
The bet is Croatia's Victory on yellow cards
In three of the previous four matches, Croatia's national team players received more yellow cards than their opponents.
The bet is an accurate score of 1:3
Spain has won two of the last three victories by scoring three goals each.
Tip and bets
Croatia's age group does not stand up to competition against the background of top national teams, and even in conditions of a busy schedule of matches. In the two previous matches against Spain and England, the checkers conceded 11 goals. It's hard to expect anything to change today, because there's not enough depth in the squad, and the young players aren't ready to compete at such a high level.
The Spanish national team has not slowed down throughout the tournament, consistently scoring at least three goals. Luis de la Fuente has the opportunity to rotate the squad, which he successfully uses. The red fury won 4-1 on home turf in the first round face-to-face meeting, and today we are waiting for an equally confident victory in Split.
Our betting tip is for Spain to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 1.77
Bet on the total
In all the matches involving the Spanish national team in the League of Nations, there was an exchange of goals scored. The Red Fury is not afraid to miss, as they have confidence in their own attacking line, which knows no equal. We hope in the betting tip that the Spaniards' series with the goal exchange will not be interrupted today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.82
Betting on corners
The Spaniards scored more corners than their opponents in 13 of the previous 15 matches. We do not think that the Croats in their current state are ready to beat the world champions by the corners.
Prediction – Spain wins on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.99
