Croatia Preview – Can Croatia finish on positive note?
It’s been a dismal Nations League campaign for Tuesday’s hosts, Croatia, as they occupy third from bottom spot in group 3 but level on three points with bottom nation, Sweden, prior to this tough looking clash against Portugal.
Croatia have managed to win just one of their five matches to date in the group which came in the shape of a 2-1 home win over Sweden but four defeats have more than outweighed that solitary success and they’re now fighting to avoid relegation down to League B.
Overall, the hosts have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions and although they beat Sweden, they suffered defeat to France at home and have lost five of the previous six meetings against their visitors, Portugal, as well.
Portugal Preview – Can Portugal snatch promotion?
The recent 1-0 defeat at home to France in Group 3 could prove to be pivotal in Portugal’s bid to make the semi-finals in the Nations League and the visitors now must win away at Croatia and hope France slip up against Sweden in the final group matches to have a chance of progressing.
Portugal had previously put together an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions which included a 4-1 trouncing of Croatia at home and no doubt the visitors will be keen to record the ‘double’ over their hosts on Tuesday night.
