Croatia hosts Portugal in round 6 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 17th at Stadion Poljud (Split)
The Croatian national team, which probably wanted to compete with France and Portugal for the playoffs, takes only 3rd place in its group. Before the final round, it has three points due to the victory over Sweden (2-1). However, the last match with the Swedes was lost with the same score. If we also take into account the friendly game with Turkey, Zlatko Dalic's team conceded six goals, which is too much for such a team. In this situation, Croatia cannot lose points in the last round; otherwise, the Croats can simply leave the elite division.

The Portuguese national team confidently occupies the second line, and no one and nothing will be able to displace it from there. Cristiano Ronaldo's team won three times but tied with the French away (0-0) and lost at home (0-1), which predetermined the location of the teams at the top of the standings. Thus, Portugal has nine goals scored and two goals conceded. 10 points are scored, and now Fernando Santos' men can calmly finish the tournament and remain in the elite for at least another year.
As for head-to-head matches between Croatia and Portugal, the latter celebrate victories more often. Of course, the away defeat in the current Nations League was especially offensive for the Croats (1-4). Summing up, I would like to say that Portugal is unlikely to go overboard and field regulars from the first minutes since it will not take either first place or third. On the contrary, the Croats really need a victory so as not to look back at the match in France. It is worth taking the risk and betting on Croatia's victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to win with 0.0 handicap
