Head to Head


Croatia have a 4-0 advantage against Wales with 2 draws in 6 matches.

The most recent meeting took place in Cardiff in October 2019. The final result was 1-1.

Croatia Form


Croatia are one of the most successful teams in the world when it comes to big competitions in the last five years.

After causing a series of upsets and winning 2nd place in World Cup 2018, the Blazers have done something similar in Qatar. This time they went home with bronze medals.

Zlatko Dalic’s side is labelled as the top favorite to win Group D and advance to Euro 2024.

They were successful in the UEFA Nations League A last year as well, advancing to the final tournament after topping Group 1 ahead of Denmark, France, and Austria.
