Comment Croatia vs Wales: Fierce race

In the Euro 2024 qualifying round, Croatia is in a relatively difficult group with the presence of two formidable opponents, Turkey and Wales. Therefore, in order to get one of the two tickets to the final round, Modric and his teammates will have to focus as much as possible and especially in the head-to-head matches against two direct competitors Turkey or Wales.

Back to the opening match of Group D, Croatia has a home match against Wales and surely, coach Dalić's teachers and students want to win all 3 points to be able to dominate the race for the top 2 - positions that will have tickets to go.

According to the assessment, this is the task within reach when the white checkered team is playing at home and is maintaining a stable performance. Accordingly, Croatia won 7, drew 5 and lost only 1 time in the last 13 matches.

Across the field, Wales played weakly when losing 6 times and only got 2 draws in the last 8 matches. If counting the recent matches away from home at UEFA tournaments, Bale and his teammates have lost all of the last 3 matches, Obviously, Wales is a unreliable team when playing away from home.
