Netherlands vs Croatia Prediction
Netherlands Form
The Netherlands hope for some consistency, as their last three matches added four points to their account. A meeting with Argentina resulted in a 2-2 draw, followed by a 4-0 defeat against France, before beating Gibraltar by 3-0. The Netherlands claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six internationals. They also drew one and lost one, as they scored 15 and conceded eight goals.
Croatia Form
Croatia are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Morocco by 2-1. This was followed by a 1-1 with Wales and a 0-2 win against Turkey. Croatia performed a very admirable four wins in six internationals, while they also drew one and lost one. They scored ten times, while also conceding six goals.
This particular encounter between the Netherlands and Croatia looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win on Wednesday.
