Croatia – Spain, Nations League Prediction

In Group 4, the world finalist, Croatia, has not yet get a win. They have, of course, only played two games, but in the first they lost catastrophically from Spain by 6-0 and today they will have to take revenge. The Croats have a chance for the first place, but for that purpose they have to defeat Spain now and defeat England on Wembley, which will be quite a complex task. The Blazers are definitely tired after the World Cup and are currently not playing at the same level, especially as some important players such as Mandzukic and Subasic, for example, have retired of the national team, because of their advanced age. With what they have shown so far, it seems that Croatia will rather concentrate on the qualifications ahead of the next year and the League of Nations is not of a very high priority.

Spain was totally exposed after losing 2-3 from England in the previous match of the group. This means that they will have to defeat Croatia today to be sure 100% that they will be the first in the group. This loss from England came after a very weak and frightening performance by the Spaniards in the first half, when their defense looked like a bunch of casual people who see with each other for the very first time. This was the first loss of Spain in 26 games. The last time they lost two consecutive games was in EURO 2016

Here we expect Spain to dominate and show their true face. The Spaniards are in good shape in principle and this loss from England should have brought them to the ground. They are now coming out for a victory in their last match in the group and then they will have a friendly match with Bosnia, where a large number of first team players will be able to rest. We think the more motivated and the more classy team is Spain and we expect them to win even though it will be difficult. However, our prediction is secured – Spain: DNB at 1.55. The alternative forecast, of course, is the Victory for Spain at 2.20
