League of Nations | France vs Croatia Predictions and Tips
After the incredible run from Croatia ended with an unfortunate loss from France, in none less than the World Cup 2018 finals, the Checkered ones are looking for payback.
Neither team has shown us their actual capacity, and they each lost one and ended one game in a draw in the League of Nations Group A. We know Croatia has what it takes to take on the World Cup champions. Can they exact revenge this time, or will the win over France remain unattainable?

France vs Croatia Recent Form
World Cup 2018 finalists have expectedly qualified for the Qatar World Cup. Both teams finished as winners of their respective groups. When compared, the Blues have shown a slightly better performance as they finished without dropping a single game. Three of eight games ended in a draw. On the other hand, the Blazers lost one and ended two in a draw.
Meanwhile, both teams played two International Friendly games. Les Blues played Ivory Coast and South Africa. They took both wins with ease. On the other hand, the Blazers played Slovenia and Bulgaria. The Slovenia game ended in a draw, and they just barely won against Bulgaria.
Finally, their performance in the League of Nations is unexplainably bad. France lost their match against Denmark, and Croatia lost against Austria. After that, their first matchup ended in a draw, leaving Les Blues in the third and the Checkered Ones in the last place of Group A.
France vs Croatia Recent Matchups
So far, Les Blues have played the Blazers nine times. Six wins went to France, and three games ended in a draw. Not an optimistic piece of information for the Checkered Ones.
The most painful loss for the Blazers remains the 2018 World Cup finals. Croatia had an incredible run thus far, but unfortunately, France put a stop to it. What we are seeing right now is nowhere near what we saw in 2018. Both teams seem to be in deep slumber.
This matchup will be their second clash in the tournament. In the first one, Croatia had the home-field advantage and managed to end the game in a draw despite being unfavoured by the odds.
The two played two more matches between the latest match and the infamous finals. Les Blues won both, one with 4:2 and the other with 2:1. Can the Checkered Ones finally stop this losing spell? Perhaps this is the match, or they might just save their biggest guns for the games they consider more important.
France vs Croatia Stats & Analysis
What the two teams have shown us so far has been average at best. They were supposed to dominate Group A, but we see the exact opposite. France are in third place after two matches, with a goal difference of 2:3. Croatia, equally bad, occupies the last place with a goal difference of 1:4.
According to stats, the two teams were approximately equal in their last matchup. Ball possession was 50:50, both teams had five shots on goal, and both goalkeepers had four saves each. The result, with such stats, was, as expected, a draw.
France vs Croatia Prediction
After such a history, the odds are expectedly in favour of Les Blues, standing at 1.60. The Checkered Ones’ odds stand at 6.00. Although unlikely, it might be something worth considering. If you think the game will end in a draw like the first match, the odds are at 3.75.
Despite the weak performance so far from the Blazers, Les Blues have not shown us anything special as well. With that in mind, there is more than a decent chance for both teams to score. The odds for that stand at 2.10.
