Mexico vs Croatia Prediction & Betting tips
In Los Angeles, Mexico and Croatia face each other in a friendly interland. Both countries hope to be able to treat their backs on a positive outcome.
Mexico :
Most of the professional players are currently enjoying a well-deserved holiday with some cocktail on some hailwhite beach, but Mexico’s international team is having a busy summer. El Tri has also participated in the Confederations Cup and the CONCACAF Gold Cup in addition to various World Cup qualifiers. The practice internationals against Croatia of coming Sunday and those against Ireland a few days later serve in preparation for this incredibly busy football summer.
Coach Osorio does not mind anyway, as he has called as many as 32 players for the upcoming two international teams. The Colombian training champion will have to disappoint a lot of players because he can only bring 23 players to the Confederations Cup next month in Russia. Famous names such as Herrera (FC Porto), Ochoa (Granada), Hernandez (Bayer Leverkusen), Moreno and Guardado (both PSV) are all part of the party. However, the vast majority of players are still active in their own country.
Given the enormous selection, Osorio will certainly roll out Croatia against Croatia. Still, the team coach, who has been in control of El Tri since 2015, is under mild pressure. In terms of results, he wins sixteen victories, three matches and only one defeat is amazing, but it’s not all that flashing what Mexico shows under his leadership. The three international countries of this calendar year against Iceland-B (1-0), Costa Rica (2-0) and Trinidad and Tobago (0-1), respectively, were all won, but supporters wanted to see more soccer.
Croatia :
Croatia has, of course, been at the global subtop for many years now. In the past, the country already delivered class boxes like Prosinecki and Suker, and also in today’s top football, Croatia has big names like Modric, Rakitic and Mandzukic.
The big vedettes will not be there on Sundays in Los Angeles this coming Sunday. Rakitic is on Saturday evening with FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey, while Modric, Kovacic (both Real Madrid) and Mandzukic (Juventus) prepare themselves for the Champions League final. Also, Perisic (Inter), Lovren (Liverpool) and Kramaric (Hoffenheim) leave default. The final selection of coach Cacic consists of only sixteen players, including ten debutants. Together, the Croats have only 29 caps behind their name. Defender Jedvaj (Bayer Leverkusen) and attacker Cop (Sporting Gijon) will have to draw the Croatian car in the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium. “This is not a B-team, but a Z-team,” said the Croatian sports press. The expectations of the home front are therefore very low, because the Croats has more of a school trip.
