Croatia vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting tips
In the world of sport the most beautiful fairy tales come true. The most recent example: the German double triumph at the French Open in Paris, when the hitherto completely unknown tennis duo Krawietz / Mies in Roland Garros crowned a sensational run with a final victory against the local heroes Chardy / Martin. Even in football, we have witnessed some unforgettable games this year. Especially the return matches in the European Cup were incredibly spectacular and the chase of Liverpool and the Tottenham Hotspurs will remain in our memory for a long time. Of course, at the national level, such fairy tales are rarer, as there is only one big event every two years. Nevertheless, everyone still remembers the Greek fairy tale of 2004 under Otto Rehhagel or the sensational run of the Icelanders at the Euro 2016. A year ago at the World Cup in Russia, Croatia was about to secure a place in the football history books. In the final, however, the team around world footballer Luka Modric defeated the French clearly and the team Tricolore celebrated their second triumph after 1998.
Meanwhile, for the team Zlatko Dalic has long returned to everyday life and the Croats fight in Group E for the qualification of the European Championship, which takes place in a year. After the important success at the weekend against Wales, the runner-up is in second place behind Hungary. On Tuesday is still a last international match before the summer break. Croatia meets Tunisia and a forecast is difficult for several reasons. For one thing, the two nations have never met in their history, and on the other hand, it is questionable how seriously the hosts are still taking this duel. Most players will be happy when the game, which starts at 19:45, is over and they are released on their well deserved summer vacation.
Croatia:
What remains of the Vice World Champion title for the future? Was this success only the beginning of a golden generation or even the culmination in the end? The age of most stars is more likely to close on the latter variant, since with Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic or Domago Vida performers from all parts of the team have already exceeded the 30s mark. In the course of the European Championship qualifier coach Dalic will therefore also integrate young players in the squad. The “new” generation also includes the Bundesliga legionaries Tin Jedvaj (Leverkusen), Josip Brekalo (Wolfsburg) and Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim).
In tens position, Chelsea player Mateo Kovacic will pull the strings in midfield. All four players were also on the pitch on Saturday when Croatia took home an important home-three against Wales. Even if everything did not work out in the course of the 90 minutes, the success was earned and never really in danger. An early own goal by the Welshman put the home side in the cards and Ivan Perisic increased to 2: 0 after the break. A late hit by the British could beautify the result from the guests’ point of view only. Croatia are on course with six points after three games and can look forward to the upcoming summer break. For one last time, the Croats want to show their own fans what they can do. Dalic will certainly experiment a bit in the test against the North Africans and give some stars a break.
On the other hand, the vice-world champion wants to say goodbye with a sense of achievement from attachment to the summer break and the players then have enough time to recharge their battery until the start of the next season. Overall, however, it is understandable that the bookmakers in mating Croatia vs. Tunisia with the odds do not know quite where this game will lead. There are many question marks that make a tip much more difficult.
Tunisia:
In contrast to the Croats, who leave for the summer holiday after the match on Tuesday, the Tunisian national team is facing an exhausting summer. The Africa Cup is up and starting for the country on June 24th. In the preliminary round, the North Africans meet Angola, Mali and Mauritania. With the three friendly matches against Iraq, Croatia and Burundi, the two coaches Maher Kanzari and Mourad Okbi want to pass their troupe. Against Iraq there was already on Friday a first sense of achievement to celebrate. Tunisia prevailed 2-0, showing a tactically disciplined performance and a high degree of efficiency in the final round.
In a game with few goal-scoring scenes, the two offensive forces Wahbi Khazri and Bassem Srarfi met early in the game. Afterwards, the hosts concentrated more on defending, which can be well trained again on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Ben Mustaphe Farouk will face a lot of work against Croatia’s runner-up. The guests do not only want to hide behind, but also to take advantage of the fact that the Croats’ legs are heavy after a long season. Most recently, the midfield players against Iraq under the sole spearhead of Khazri kept providing for goal threat and flexibility in the game forward.
This will be necessary to prevent the third away failure in series. All in all, the underdog certainly has a small motivational advantage, which is why between Croatia and Tunisia, a forecast in the direction of the guests is not so outlandish. However, the quality in the ranks of the Croats is also clearly higher and many players in the squad of Tunisia are more likely to travel to smaller clubs in more unfamiliar leagues. An exciting constellation that viewers will see on Tuesday evening.
