Croatia vs Portugal Prediction & Betting tips
One of the last tough matches of the 6th round of the UEFA Nations League is played on Monday evening at 19:45, in Group 1 of League A, where Croatia will play at home against Portugal. The two teams will face each other for the 4th time in this competition, and all three previous confrontations were won by Portugal. In the round match that took place in this edition, Portugal won 2-1 at home, with all three goals scored in the first half. This group also includes Poland and Scotland, and the fight for 2nd place is expected to be very heated.
Croatia:
Croatia is in second place in this group and needs only one point to maintain this position and qualify for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League. Croatia managed two victories in this group, after defeating Poland, 1-0, and Scotland, 2-1. Another spectacular match was in Poland, where the game ended in a draw, 3-3. In the previous match, Croatia offered an unpleasant surprise to its fans after losing away 1-0 to Scotland.
Portugal:
On the other hand, Portugal is more relaxed in this match because they are in first place in the group with 13 points accumulated and are already qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Nations League, a competition they won in the first edition. Portugal is coming off its clearest success of this UEFA Nations League season, managing to win 5-1 against Poland, Cristiano Ronaldo being a one man show with two goals scored and one assist. Portugal’s only semifinal in this group was the away match with Scotland, which ended in a draw, score 0-0.
