Cape Verde vs Croatia Predictions

Cape Verde are the biggest underdog in the group and I don’t see them getting anywhere close to forcing an upset. Croatia need to boost their spirits after losing to Egypt and I will back them to do it in a convincing fashion.

Cape Verde Form

Cape Verde are one of the biggest underdogs in the WC 2025 Group 4, but they achieved the main goal of advancing into the second phase.

After starting the tournament with a convincing defeat to Iceland 34-31, the African side then collapsed against Slovenia and lost 36-24.

They punched the second phase ticket by defeating Cuba 38-28 two days ago. Delcio Pina is topping their scoring charts at the moment, scoring 16 goals from 32 shots.

Croatia Form

Croatia have underperformed in the WC 2025 group stages and carried over just two points into the second phase.

One of the tournament hosts had a good start, beating Bahrein 36-22 in first and Argentina 33-18 in second round but one of their key players Domagoj Duvnjak suffered an injury and won’t be coming back in upcoming weeks.

Croatia were stunned in their third appearance, losing to Egypt 28-24 in front of the home crowd.

Filip Glavas has been Croatia’s top scorer so far, converting 15 of his 18 shots.

Verdict

Cape Verde v Croatia

Croatia are looking to bounce back after losing to Egypt. They looked fantastic in their January friendlies and victories in first two rounds, so I am backing the tournament hosts to outclass Cape Verde and win in handicap.
