Wales vs Croatia Preview - 15/10/2023 - UEFA EURO Qualifiers
Wales is scheduled to face off against the Croatian national team in the Euro 2024 qualification match on October 15, 2023.
The teams have met on six occasions since 2010. Out of these encounters, Wales failed to emerge victorious, while Croatia claimed victory in four matches, with two ending in draws.
Zlatko Dalić's team currently holds the second spot in Group D and has faced their first undefeated in the competition after playing a 0 - 1 against Turkey on October 12.
Having been the World Cup runners-up in 2018 and recently reaching the finals of the Nations League, the Croatians aspire to break new ground and secure victory in Germany next year, just before some of their longstanding stars step away from the international stage.
Meanwhile, the Dragons presently find themselves trailing by three points in Group D, but Page's squad has only managed victories against Latvia and still has to face the teams above them.
Wales vs Croatia Prediction - 15/10/2023 - UEFA EURO Qualifiers
In the upcoming match between Croatia and Wales, Zlatko Dalić's side's strong recent form, having lost only two games this year, makes them the favorites. They have been in great goal-scoring form, netting six goals in their last two matches. However, Wales will be motivated to secure a much-needed victory, which could lead to a close and exciting game.
According to Vbet.com, Croatia are a slight favorite in this game.
