For this round, we have Croatia vs Czech Republic match on Group D. We thought that this was going to be a predictable group, but it has been far from truth. Let’s take a look at where teams stand and what can we expect from this match!
Croatia
Croatia is an old team but with expertise; however, this expertise wasn’t enough against England (which is a pretty young team, on the contrary). They lost their first match by 1-0. We didn’t see a great football display from both sides and we don’t think Croatia will be a strong team in this year’s tournament. The Croats have a long history on European Championship, but not after round of 16, sadly.
Czech Republic
The Czechs stand in the top of Group D table after beating Scotland by 0-2 in the first round. It was a great performance from Czech Republic and we expect them to fight hard to move to the next stage. On European Tournament, Czech Republic has reached the final only once, after the split from Czechoslovakia; so, they have some experience and we guess they will be aiming to repeat that.
Prediction
Despite having Croatia as the favorite in this match, we don’t think the odds reflect a clear upper-hand for the Croats. The 0.25 asian hándicaps seem pretty safe selections, either for Croatia -0.25 (1.884) or for Czech Republic +0.25 (2.080). Also, the selections for Both Teams to Score count on pretty good odds (1.970) and we think this is pretty likely to happen, given Croatia’s experienced spirit and Czech Republic’s momemtum.
