On June 13, there will be a match in the framework of the European Football Championship 2020 between the national teams of England and Croatia. We offer you a forecast for this meeting.
England
As in the run-up to the 2018 World Cup, the England team is considered one of the main favorites of the tournament. Gareth Southgate has the most talented young team with incredible competition, especially in the attacking line. The only thing that the English may lack is experienced players who can add calmness and composure to these talented youngsters.
Croatia
The finalist of the 2018 World Cup came to Euro 2020 far from being the favorite. The fact is that in these three years, Croatia has only one modest star-this is Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb. All the other leaders of the past have aged. This applies to Modric, Rakitic, and a number of other players. If Croatia makes it to at least the quarter-finals – it will be a success. In the match against England, we believe that the Croats may lack speed and endurance.
Statistics and figures:
- England have won six matches in a row;
- Croatia have just three wins in their last ten matches;
- In the nine official matches between these teams, England won five times, and Croatia won three times.
Forecast:
Wow, what a grudge the England team has against Croatia. First, the match of 2007, when England did not qualify for the Euro, losing at home with a score of 2-3, then losing in the semi-finals of last year's World Cup. The British will definitely not tolerate such a third disappointment, especially since the "three lions" are now super-strong. We are betting on England winning this match.
