Croatia are tipped to win against Czech Republic in their UEFA Nations League fixture, needing just a draw to avoid relegation from League A. Croatia previously won the reverse fixture 2-1 and have never lost to Czech Republic, holding a 3-0 head-to-head advantage with four draws. Czech Republic are bottom of the group after five straight losses and are on a six-match losing streak, including defeats to Croatia, England and Spain. Croatia's stronger record and Czech Republic's poor form support the selection of a Croatia win in the Full-Time Result market.

Croatia vs Czech Republic Verdict


Croatia need a draw to avoid relegation in the UEFA Nations League, but I think they will achieve it via a win. Czech Republic have lost all five games including the reverse fixture, with Croatia backed to win again.

  • Croatia won 2-1 in the reverse fixture
  • Croatia have won 2 of their last 3 matches against Czech Republic.
  • Czech Republic have lost their last 6 matches

Head to Head 


Croatia have never lost against Czech Republic, leading 3-0 alongside four draws. They were 2-1 winners in Czechia at the start of the UEFA Nations League campaign.

Croatia Bidding To Avoid Defeat


Croatia can't qualify for the knockouts and the remaining objective is to avoid relegation from League A. A draw against Czech Republic will achieve that for Zlatko Dalic's side.

Under previous boss Slaven Bilic, the Blazers started the UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-1 road victory against the Czech Republic.

But Bilic paid the price for three straight losses in the last international window.

Croatia went down to Spain 4-1 and England 7-0. They then lost again, although were more competitive in a 2-1 defeat to Spain.

Czechia Facing Relegation As Losing Run Continues


Czech Republic are rooted to the bottom of the group after five straight losses, and an overall run of six successive defeats.

The campaign started with defeats to Croatia 2-1 and England 2-0. They then suffered two more losses to Spain 3-1 and England 3-0 in the last international windows.

Things didn't get any better on a return to action on Thursday as a fifth defeat in the group followed, this time a 2-0 loss at home to Spain.

Verdict

Croatia won 2-1 in the reverse fixture and are backed to repeat the victory against a Czech Republic side on a six-game losing run.
