Croatia Gibraltar betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be several goals. Croatia should take total control of the match from the start, benefiting from their enormous technical and tactical superiority. Even so, the Croatians' attacking style of play, combined with Gibraltar's defensive frailties, could lead to a match with plenty of clear goal-scoring opportunities. In this sense, taking a chance in favour of the "Over 4.5 Goals" market in this game is a good option.

Preview
Croatia and Gibraltar face at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (Group Stage). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Croatia

After 4 wins and 1 draw, the home team is currently in the 1st position, with 16 points won. In the last match, they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against Czech Republic, after in the previous round they have won (4‑0) at home against Montenegro. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In the last 4 home matches Croatia has won 3 and tied 1.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Croatia come into this game on the back of a goalless draw against Czechia. The Croatian team is likely to field a 4-3-3 tactical system, focusing on quick transitions and a strong presence down the flanks. Up front, the trio of Mario Pašalić, Ivan Perišić and Ante Budimir promise to give the opposing defence headaches, while Luka Modrić will play the role of maestro, responsible for organising the game and dictating the pace in midfield. All the players are available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Dominik Kotarski, Martin Erlić, Domagoj Bradarić, Marin Pongracic, Lovro Majer, Martin Baturina, Nikola Moro, Mateo Kovacic , Toni Fruk, Franjo Ivanović, Marco Pašalić.
Coach: Z. Dalić.

Analysis Gibraltar

The away team is currently in the 5th position, no points won yet, after 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Faroe Islands by (2‑1). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Faroe Islands by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 draws and 13 losses in away matches, with 4 goals scored and 56 conceded; against 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses at their stadium, with 5 goals scored and 34 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got a home loss against New Caledonia by (0‑2). In the last 4 away matches Gibraltar has tied 2 and lost 2.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Gibraltar come into this game on the back of a 0-2 friendly defeat against New Caledonia. In their last match in this qualifying round, the visitors lost 0-1 to the Faoré Islands. Gibraltar should stick to their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Tjay De Barr and Julian Del Rio tasked with stirring the waters up front. At the heart of the offensive manoeuvres, Graeme Torrilla takes on the role of the team's brains, being the main man responsible for linking the middle to the attack and creating imbalances in the opposition's lines. All the players are available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Jaylan Hankins, Bernardo Lopes, Louie Annesley, Ethan Jolley, Kian Ronan, Julian Valarino, Dan Bent, Jeremy Perera, James Scanlon, Carlos Richards, Tjay De Barr.
