Ukraine – Croatia PREDICTION & TIPS
If they are not traveling to Russia, the Croats will be able to bite their fingers. At the head of this group I before the ninth day, the teammates of Modric and Mandzukic experienced a terrible disillusionment in their lair, with a draw conceded against the Finns (1-1), who however have nothing more to play in these playoffs. Iceland, easy winner of Turkey, took advantage of this faux-pas to take the controllers of the group. And it will certainly be the surprises of the last Euro that will go directly to Russia for the next World Cup, they who receive Kosovo for the last day. To hope to believe in a qualification for the World Cup, the Croatians must therefore consolidate this second place that they only hold thanks to the goal average, better than that of the Ukraine, which they face this Monday. So what do we expect from this last levee in this group I: a Ukrainian victory that would definitely eliminate Croatia, or of the revengeful Croats who assure the essential thing during this last displacement?
The Croatians did not win any of their 3 trips to Ukraine, with 2 draws and a defeat on the clock.
Croatia disappointed on Friday by conceding a sad draw at home against Finland (1-1), yet far from scary on paper. And yet Modric and company had the opportunity to reinforce their first place … At the same time the Ukrainians imposed themselves easily in Kosovo.
The Ukrainians have practically made full board on their lands, with 3 successes and a draw. The Croats can shake.
On the outside, Croatia lost very heavy in the playoffs, with 2 defeats in Iceland (1-0) and Turkey (1-0). The victories in Kosovo and Finland do not change this terrible statistic.
Ukraine Croatia – Our prediction
By conceding the draw at home to Finland (1-1), the Croats put themselves in a bad situation. And this trip to Ukraine, unbeaten at home in these playoffs, does not bode well for the band to Modric, who has already bowed in Iceland and Turkey. It is ensured by playing on the double chance: victory of the Ukraine or tie.
