Wales vs Croatia Prediction & Betting Tips (15 October)

The Welsh are in fourth place with 7 points, the same as Armenia who are third and still dream of qualifying for the next phase. Croatia is second with 10 points, and also has the ambition of finishing in one of the top two positions in the group that guarantees a passport to Germany next summer.

Latvia closes the group's accounts, with just 3 points and is already practically out of the final stage of the European Championship.

Obviously, a page has turned in the selection since Gareth Bale (41 goals in 111 caps) withdrew following the World Cup in Qatar, like the equally important Joe Allen (74 caps) and Jonny Williams (32 capes). As a bonus, the reds must do without the usual captain Aaron Ramsey (21 goals in 84 seasons), absent from the list. Present during the previous break, the young offensive guard Brennan Johnson (Tottenham, 2 goals in 22 seasons) and Matondo (Rangers, 11 caps) are not in the game. To mention the players present to defend the colors of the country, we list Daniel James (Leeds, 47 caps), Kieffer Moore (Bournemouth) and Harry Wilson (Fulham, 6 goals in 49 appearances). In the defensive sector, experience is essential with notably Davies (Tottenham, 81 caps), Connor Roberts (Burnley, 51 caps), Mepham (43 caps) and Neco Williams (Nottingham Forrest, 33 caps). Opposite, Croatia will leave its bags in Wales without the inexhaustible Perisic (Tottenham, 33 goals in 129 sel) injured, the same goes for Ivanusec (Feyenoord, 16 sel) and the striker Kramaric (Hoffenheim, 87 sel, 26 goals). Having gotten a little lost in recent months, the Orisic nugget is not there either.

Present in the pre-list, the Lyonnais and former Marseillais, Caleta-Car (23 sel) is not in the mix. To discuss the players present, let's start with the only one, Luka Modric (Real Madrid, 24 goals in 168 caps) who is however aging. Still in the midfield sector, coach Dalic can count on Kovacic (Manchester City), Brozovic (Al-Nassr) and Majer (Wolfsburg) without forgetting Pasalic (Atalanta) and Vlasic (Torino). Up front, Ante Budimir was squid once unlike the young crack Petar Musa (Benfica, 4 games) and Petkovic (Dinamo Zagreb, 10 goals in 33 games). Behind, the imperial Vida (102 caps) still holds the house alongside Manchester City central defender Gvardiol (23 caps) and the precious Stanisic (Leverkusen, 12 caps).
