Croatia vs Denmark Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in World Cup Predictions
Denmark’s strongest point, as seen in the competition, and indeed the past few games, is their defence; they defend in numbers and breaking them down is not very easy. They have conceded just once in their last five matches as compared to Croatia, who have let in four in their last five matches. Denmark superb defending has however stifled their attack, and in the last five matches they have scored just four, compared to Croatia’s nine in the same run. There is a general feel that this match will be determined not by the attacking prowess the two nations bear but their defensive abilities. In the game against France, the Danes showed their defensive abilities really well and this is an aspect that is definitely going to give Croatia some tough thinking, though they have the players to unlock stubborn defences. Croatia have four straight wins and a loss in their last five matches while Denmark are unbeaten in seven and both teams head to the clash with two losses in their last 10 games. Croatia have seven wins in 10 matches and five clean sheets in the process and have scored in eight of their last 11 matches. In World Cup matches, they have four wins in the last five and four losses in 10. They have scored in each of their last seven World Cup matches. Denmark, on the other hand, have scored in six of the last 10 matches and kept six clean sheets in the last seven matches, with four wins in 10 World Cup matches and scoring in seven of their last 10 World Cup matches. Head to head, the two sides have met five times; Croatia have managed two wins, Denmark two as well, with one game ending in a draw.

Our Croatia vs Denmark Prediction
Denmark are returning to the World Cup after missing the last edition but they have not missed a breath in their opening three matches at this tournament, doing just enough to advance as the second in a group that also had France and Australia. Croatia were good throughout their group stage matches, even though they needed a late goal to beat Iceland in the last game; they have been scoring late goals anyway. One undeniable factor here is the defensive abilities of both teams and that is what this will boil down to. Both have conceded once at this tournament and the expectation in this game will be a low scoring affair. The fine margins that define these teams’ performance at the World Cup mean this match may be decided on post match penalties.
