Following a 2:0 victory in Split during the first leg of the UEFA Nations League A Playoff Quarter Finals, Croatia is set to travel to France for the second leg. The France vs Croatia will kick off at 19:45 UK Time.

The previous European Championship was a letdown for Croatia, as they were eliminated in the group stage. Although they were drawn into a difficult group that included Italy, Spain, and Croatia, the outcome is nonetheless disappointing for a top European and World NT team over the last several years. With eight points after six matches, the Croats fared well in Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League. Still, their most recent victory against France ranks high among their finest victories of recent memory. Even before the first leg, the odds on Croatia advancing to the next round were low. Nonetheless, with a two-goal lead, they are heavy favourites to advance to the semi-finals (the odds are about 1.5).
France is undeniably one of the world’s top national teams. In the most recent World Cup, they finished as runners-up, while in the most recent European Championship, they lost in the semifinals. Even though they had excellent opportunities to win, they were defeated by Argentina and Spain in nail-biters. Despite playing in a group that included Italy, Belgium, and Israel, Les Bleus managed to come out on top in the UEFA Nations League. Even though they’re in a tough position after losing the first leg, they still have a shot at winning the match.
