Saudi Arabia take on the visitors Croatia in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 16th.
Saudi Arabia was able to qualify for the 2nd World Cup in a row after missing tournaments in 2010 and 2014. In Russia, they failed to leave the group, but in general, the Greens were able to achieve a decent result, beating Egypt with Mohamed Salah in the roster but they lost to the hosts and to Uruguay with its Cavani and Luis Suarez at their prime. Now, too, one should not overestimate the team, which was assembled from representatives of local clubs. Here the main star is, of course, a mentor, Herve Renard, a Frenchman who won the CAN with Zambia and Côte d'Ivoire, and in 2018 was able to bring Morocco to the World Cup. He won with new wards a pass to neighboring Qatar, and in great style: 7 wins in 10 fights with a single defeat to a direct competitor, Japan, but by that time everything was already clear.

Croatia was able to rewrite history 4 years ago, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the triumph of Davor Shuker's generation by surpassing their results. This time, it did succeed and completely break into the final, however, losing to France there. After that, the mentor, Zlatko Dalic, had a non-trivial task in the form of a generation change. And yet, it must be admitted that there are simply no stars of the level of Rakitic or Mandzhukic, although players like Vlasic has already matured and reached his peak, successfully playing for Torino. But at the Euro it turned out to get out of the group and return in the match after being down 1-3 with Spain - but in the extra time, Fury Roja scored a couple more goals. Further, in the fall, the "checkered" were able, albeit not without problems, to win the dispute for the 1st place in the qualifying group. And already this calendar year, playing within the League of Nations in a quartet with Austria and, most importantly, Denmark and France, they managed to score 13 points and win the group. So there will still be chances to win the League of Nations, but, of course, they don’t think about it now - the priority is to fight at the long-awaited World Cup.
Saudi Arabia is strong only at the continental, Asian level. So it is not surprising that she will meet the Croats for the first time. Bookmakers consider Croatia to be the favorite. But for her there is no task to win, on the contrary, it is important to save strength for the tournament. We recommend betting on “less 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
