Iceland Croatia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Without a doubt Croatia has more quality and experience in this type of competition and for this reason should have the full initiative of the clash. In addition, Croatia has huge individual values, many of them play in the best championships in the world, and Iceland uses the team's union to overcome difficulties during their matches. In this way, and also as we have an Iceland that needs to win, we believe in a game with a lot of danger throws, so risking in favor of the market '' Over 1.5 goals '' is of enormous value.

Preview
Iceland and Croatia meet , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 11‑06‑2017 and ended in a (1‑0) win by Iceland, and the latest on 12‑11‑2016, which ended in a (2‑0) win by Croatia.

Analysis Iceland

After 1 draw and 1 loss, they come to this 3rd round in the 3rd position of Group D, with 1 point won. In the previous round, they lost against Nigeria by (2‑0), after they have tied in their first group stage by (1‑1) against Argentina. Iceland has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5 of the last 10 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Iceland comes to this game unmotivated after having added a 2-0 defeat to Nigeria registering their first defeat in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. We recall that the Icelanders added a draw in their opening day against Argentina. In this game against Croatia, the leader of Group D, it is expected that coach Heimir Hallgrímsson will play in the usual 4-4-2 privileging the defensive organization and the counterattacks. In addition it will be visible that the Icelandic national team use the runners to create danger to the opponent: Bjarnason is a very fast and excellent player in the transport of the ball. It is inevitable to highlight Finnbogason, one of the great dangers in finishing. Without great absences, the coach should act at maximum strength.

Confirmed Lineup: Hannes Þór Halldórsson, Birkir Már Sævarsson, Hörður Magnússon, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, Birkir Bjarnason, Jóhann Guðmundsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Gylfi Sigurðsson, Emil Hallfreðsson, Alfreð Finnbogason.
Coach: R. Sigurðsson.

Analysis Croatia

They come to his 3rd round of Group D in the 1st position, with 6 points won, after 2 wins. In their debut in this group stage they won against Nigeria by (2‑0). In the second round, they won against Argentina by (0‑3). In the last 10 matches Croatia has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Croatia heads into this match with a 3-0 triumph over Argentina, thus totaling their second win in this competition: the goals were signed by Rebic, Modric and Rakitic. Usually coach Zlatko Dalic plays in 4-3-3 with Madzukic being the most offensive team reference. But it is important to emphasize that one of the great highlights of the team is the midfielder Modric: this player is possessed of enormous technique and pass quality. We emphasize that the Croatian national team has enormous competence in the offensive organization and maintenance of ball possession. For this game the coach can not count on Marcelo Brozovic due to suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Lovre Kalinić, Josip Pivarić, Tin Jedvaj, Duje Ćaleta-Car, Vedran Ćorluka, Luka Modrić, Milan Badelj, Mateo Kovačić, Ivan Perišić, Marko Pjaca, Andrej Kramarić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.
