Croatia Finland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most probable scenario for this match will be for a small number of goals to be scored. We believe it should have a slow pace, with a couple of closed moments, but we expect the Croatians to have more initiative. Also, it is important to highlight that both teams have competent defensive systems, and they will both look for a good performance in this qualifying phase. So we believe that a bet backing the under has a lot of value.

Preview
Croatia and Finland face at Stadion Gradski vrt, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Croatia

After 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, the home team is currently in the 1st position, with 16 points won. In the last match, they have lost (1‑0) in an away match against Turkey, after in the previous round they have won (1‑0) at home against Kosovo. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium. In the last 4 WC Qualification Europe home matches Croatia has a record of 3 wins and 1 draw.

They haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 6 of the last 8 matches for the WC Qualification Europe, they have reached half‑time in front in 4 of those 6 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 5 of them.

Croatia heads into this match after a 1-0 loss against Turkey, their second loss in their last 3 matches. In this match, coach Ante Cacic should use a 4-2-3-1 formation prioritising ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the wings, using Brozovic and Perisic. Mandzukic is their best scorer with 4 goals so far. In this match, they should have all their players available.

Confirmed Lineup: Danijel Subašić, Sime Vrsaljko, Domagoj Vida, Matej Mitrović, Josip Pivarić, Luka Modrić , Marcelo Brozović, Ivan Rakitić, Andrej Kramaric, Ivan Perišić, Mario Mandžukić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.

Analysis Finland

The away team is currently in the 5th position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Iceland by (1‑0). In the last round, they have won an away match against Kosovo by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 4 WC Qualification Europe away matches Finland has a record of 1 win and 3 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Finland heads into this match after a 1-0 win against Kosovo, their second win in this stage, as Pukki scored their only goal. In this match, coach Markku Kanerva should use a rather defensive strategy, with a slightly lower line, using the space in their opponents back, as Robin Lod is very quick and great in offensive transitions. Pukki is their best scorer with 2 goals. In this match, they should have all their usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukas Hradecky, Niklas Moisander, J. Ojala, Paulus Arajuuri, Albin Granlund, Rasmus Schüller, Kasper Hämäläinen, Joel Pohjanpalo, Simon Skrabb.
Coach: P. Hetemaj, T. Sparv, M. Kanerva.
