Croatia vs Iceland Predictions 


Croatia struggled and lost to Egypt in the group stages and they have one of the key players Domagoj Duvnjak sidelined. This said, I am tipping Iceland to maintain their 100%-win rate in the WC 2025.

Croatia Form 


After slipping in the group stages, Croatia are under massive pressure to win their remaining two games and qualify for the playoffs. 

The Blazers started the tournament with two convincing victories against underdogs Bahrein 36-22 and Argentina 33-18, but then suffered a shock 28-24 defeat to Egypt. 

They bounced back in the second phase opener, demolishing Cape Verde 44-24. It is still uncertain if one of the key players Domagoj Duvnjak will be back after suffering an injury against Argentina.  

Iceland Form 


Iceland are one out of two teams in the World Championship 2025 to maintain 100% win rate, claiming four consecutive victories. 

In the group stages, they defeated Cape Verde 34-21, Cuba 40-19 and Slovenia 23-18 to carry over the maximum number of points. 

Iceland started the second phase with another victory, this time against Egypt 27-24. 

Viggo Kristjansson has been their key player so far, scoring 23 goals from 35 attempts and converting 12 out of 13 7m shots.

Verdict

Croatia underperformed and lost against Egypt in the group stages and most likely will be without their star player Domagoj Duvnjak. I am backing Iceland to extend their winning run in the WC 2025.
