Croatia vs France Prediction
Croatia Form
Croatia are without a win from their previous three outings, as Poland managed a draw, before they lost 1-0 against Scotland. Their latest match ended in a 1-1 draw with Portugal. Croatia only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent internationals. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored eight and conceded eight goals.
France Form
France look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Belgium by 1-2, before drawing 0-0 with Israel. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Italy by a 1-3 scoreline. France recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six internationals, in which they banged in 12 goals, whilst conceding eight. They also drew one and lost one.
With the results that France have picked up lately, we favour them to grab another win, when going up against Croatia at Stadion Poljud.
France remained without defeat in 5 games on the bounce.
