Croatia faces Scotland in round 3 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 22nd at Hampden Park (Glasgow)
Objectively, Dalic has a human resource that is incomparable in quality to that of his counterpart Clarke. If necessary, the Croats have someone to strengthen or modify the game (in the last round, for example, Petkovic was beneficial after appearing from the bench). They are higher in class and more experienced, so they are capable of stepping up during the competition and achieving results in decisive matches, which has already been proven at the 2018 World Cup. And their football is quite good. The Croats decently fought against England (1-0), not allowing it to create much, and did not lose to the Czechs (1-1), who scored from the penalty spot with a single hit on target.

The Scots are diligent and very active, but they have not yet won or even scored. Despite the support of the home stands, they lost to the Czechs (0-2). And they avoided a similar fate in London (0-0) only due to the fact that Kane and Sterling did not convert their chances. Many fans liked the courage of the Scottish national team, which abandoned bus tactics and was not afraid to run forward, but its attacks lacked sharpness (they hit the target only once). The team defends well but still allows some positional miscalculations, especially at the end of the halves. Probably, it happens against the background of physical fatigue.
The Croats will certainly take advantage of this. With such a selection of midfielders, they are able to pass for a long time, exhausting opponents with tackling work. Sooner or later, the Scots will lose their freshness, but they will have to take risks and go on the attack, as a draw is not enough for them, and the fans will exert additional pressure. This will open up areas for a team that knows how to behave in such situations. There are enough performers who can both give a brilliant pass and run behind the back. Coupled with unconditional excellence in individual skill and experience, it makes Croatia a favorite of the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Croatia to win
