The UEFA Nations League delivers another thrilling matchup as Croatia takes on France on March 20, 2025, at 19:45. The match will be held at Stadion Poljud in Split.
Croatia, led by veteran playmaker Luka Modrić, has been one of the most consistent teams in international football over the last decade. They reached the 2018 World Cup final and finished third in the 2022 edition, proving their ability to compete at the highest level. Despite their experience, Croatia has struggled to maintain dominance against elite sides, often relying on their midfield trio of Modrić, Marcelo Brozović, and Mateo Kovačić to control the game. Their main concern remains their aging defense, which could struggle against France’s rapid attacking force.
On the other hand, France enters this clash as one of the strongest teams in the world. With a squad boasting Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, and Eduardo Camavinga, Les Bleus have the perfect blend of youth and experience. Under Didier Deschamps, France remains a team that thrives on pace, technical ability, and clinical finishing. Their attacking depth will be a major concern for Croatia, especially if the home side struggles to contain France’s lethal counterattacks.

Our Croatia vs France Prediction
Croatia will rely on their experienced midfield to dictate the tempo and slow down France’s attacking play. However, with France’s superior squad depth and firepower, it will be difficult for Croatia to hold off Les Bleus for the full 90 minutes. France’s speed on the break and ability to exploit defensive gaps will likely be the deciding factor in this game. While Croatia may keep things competitive, France’s attacking quality should give them the edge. Our prediction for Croatia vs France: France to win.
