England vs Croatia Prediction & Tips
England enter the tournament as Group L favorites. They have a strong squad and high expectations from fans and pundits alike. Their goal is to go further than ever before.
Gareth Southgate’s successor has built a confident side. England arrive in good form after winning four of their last five matches. They will look to control the game from the start.
Group L also includes Ghana and Panama. This means England must treat the Croatia match as a must-win opener. Goal difference could decide who tops the group.
Croatia are no strangers to this stage. They reached the World Cup final in 2018 and finished third in 2022. That experience makes them one of the most dangerous sides in the group.
Luka Modric leads a golden generation that knows how to win tight matches. Croatia fell at the Euro 2024 group stage, however. Zlatko Dalic knows his side cannot afford another early exit.
A defeat here would put their World Cup qualification under serious pressure. Croatia will fight hard for every point. England should expect a tough and physical contest.
