Croatia - will you find the right track before the EM?

At the last major tournament of the 2018 World Cup, the Croatians sensationally made it to the final. There they had to admit defeat to France, but they are currently runner-up world champions. Two years later, they are still not considered to be big favorites at the upcoming EM.

On the one hand, this is due to the poor performance recently and, on the other hand, because many top performers have reached the edge of their zenith. Players like Luka Modric (35), Ivan Rakitic (33) or Ivan Perisic (32) are no longer among the youngest.

Armenia - strong performances under the new coach


In contrast to their opponents Croatia, Armenia has never qualified for a World Cup or European Championship finals. In the FIFA world rankings, Armenia is only 90th behind teams like Haiti and Syria. Despite these rather modest stats, the team is on the up.

This is primarily due to the new coach Joaquin Caparros. The Spaniard only took over the team in September 2020 and has only lost one game since then. In the opening game against North Macedonia you had to admit defeat 2-1.

They were the only team in the group to win all of their 3 qualifying games. While they were favorites in the first against Liechtenstein, they prevailed against Iceland and Romania as clear outsiders. In 2 of 3 games they managed to keep the zero, only against Romania it was a spectacular goal that they could win 3: 2.

Betting tip and forecast

Croatia are favorites in this game despite their recent fluctuations. However, Armenia is anything but to be underestimated, as they have won their previous 3 World Cup qualifying games. Croatia, on the other hand, only managed to win 2 of the last 6 games. Before the two victories against Malta and Cyprus, they also conceded at least one goal in 12 games in a row. Our recommendation is therefore: Both teams score YES.
