England takes on the visitors Croatia in the round 6 match of UEFA Nations League. The game will be played on 18th of November at Wembley Stadium (London).
The British played great against the Spaniards on the road, having implemented all their scoring chances. But in that meeting the team of 3-lions acted from the opponent, using the speed qualities of Rashford and Sterling. Against the Croats, the British will play the first number, which can cause problems. England attacks too primitive, a lot falls into the penalty area. Opponents easily read it and beat. At the same World Cup, the national team prevailed only in the game with Panama, in the remaining 6 matches the team scored only 6 goals. But at the same time, the British failed in defense lately only in fights with Spain. At the World Cup, the Southgate players played great defense, even with the Belgians they missed 3 goals in 180 minutes, although both meetings were held without any motivation.

Croatia, as expected, slowed down after the World Cup. First of all, the national team had problems in the attack. Visiting the Spaniards, the team played dull, in the home game with the British created a few moments, but did not score. There is nothing surprising here. Modric strongly passed lately, and Peresic's performance was down. Hence the problems in the attack. Even in a duel with Jordan, where the Croats staged a shelling of the opponent's goal, only 2 goals were scored. As for defense, it only faltered in the guest game with Spain. In the match with the British and the Portuguese, Croatia missed only 1 ball, although the rivals created a number of scoring chances. And Jordan scored the Croats in the end of the meeting, when reservists and substitute players were playing on the field.
I am waiting for a similar scenario in this meeting, as in the previous match of the teams. In Croatia, the national teams played passively in the attack, shot only 14 times on goal. Moments were in those and others, but they failed to score. The British as owners will take the initiative in their legs, but when playing the first number, the national team of 3 lions have problems with penetration into the penalty opponent. The Croats, by contrast, play number two well, but in recent games they have had problems with the implementation and creation of moments. In 6 of the last 10 official games of the British ended with under 2.5 scored goals., the Croats did not break through the total in 5 of the 9 extreme fights. For the last 2 in-person meeings, the team have split just 2 goals for two, I don’t expect an abundance of goals even now.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
