Croatia vs France Prediction: the guests will justify their status as favourites

Prediction for the UEFA Nations League match which will take place on March 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Croatia

The Croatian national team is an amazing team that performs much better at world championships than at continental ones. At the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup, the team won silver and bronze medals, respectively, but at the Euros they have not made it past the quarterfinals since 2008, and at Euro 2024 they failed to make it out of the group.

In the current UEFA Nations League they are playing with mixed success. In the six rounds of the group stage, they beat only Poland and Scotland - 1:0 and 2:1, respectively, while they drew and lost two more times. With eight points, the Croats finished second in the quartet.

France

The French national team continues to perform at a very solid level. Didier Deschamps is again forced to change generations, but this process does not affect the results. At Euro 2024 the team reached the semifinals, where they lost to Spain 1:2, winning the bronze medals.

The current UEFA Nations League started for the French with a 1:3 defeat to Italy, but in the next five matches they made only one misfire, sharing points with the Israelis - 0:0, and in the four remaining games managed to win. All this allowed the team to take the first place in the quartet.

H2H Meetings

Throughout history, the rivals have held ten face-to-face meetings. On the account of the Croatian team one victory, the French team was stronger in six matches, and three more games ended in a draw. The last time the rivals met in the UEFA Nations League in 2022, when the first battle ended in a draw - 1:1, and then won the opponents - 1:0.

Expert Betting Tips

The French national team is a very stable team, which in almost all tournaments under the leadership of Didier Deschamps shows excellent results. In the current UEFA Nations League, the Tricolor have won four of the last five games. The Croatians can only dream about such statistics, and in face-to-face confrontation they do not show themselves in the best way, as they have won only once in ten head-to-head meetings. As a result, we can bet on the victory of the French team.
