Croatia hosts France in round 4 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 14th at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
Croats take third place in their group of the Nations League and are eager to catch up with the French and Portuguese because the gap is only four points. The Croats lost only one out of the last five home games, having won in the rest of the matches and scored two or more goals. In the last round of the Nations League, Croatia defeated the Swedish national team with a score of 2:1. There are problems in defense, as the national team conceded in the last seven matches. The French national team is too good, and it will not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the defenders' mistakes.

France and Portugal have seven points each, but the French are second, and they will surely try to fly to the top. The French national team has not lost for 11 matches in a row, and the last four away games have ended without goals conceded (with Sweden 0:1, with Albania 0:2, with Iceland 0:1, and with Andorra 0:4). Of course, the French have a very high-quality squad, which allows them to play well in defense and score many goals.
The Croatian national team concedes a lot in almost every game. Given what performers the French national team has, it will be a very difficult game for the Croats. In the last head-to-head match, France looked much better and won with a 4-2 score. Croatia didn’t lose in 33 of their last 34 home games, but they haven't played against a powerful rival like France for a long time. On the other hand, the French kept a clean sheet in four out of five last away games. Now the Croats show not such high-quality football. This was evident in the match with the Portuguese and in the last game with the French, so my prediction is the victory of the French national team. And most likely, the French will score two or more goals.
Prediction for the match: France to win
