Croatia vs Poland Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th September 2024
Croatia take on Poland at Opus Arena, where an exciting match should be on the cards on Sunday. It is one of the many matches in round two of the group stages of the UEFA Nations League this season. Poland were knocked out cold when Croatia took a 1-0 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 1-0 defeat, Poland handed out in the game before.
Croatia head to their upcoming match as number 12 in the FIFA world ranking. Meanwhile, there is a pretty big gap to upcoming opponents Poland. They enter the game ranked number 28 in the world.
After the first round of the group stage Croatia are number four on zero, while Poland have three as number one.
Croatia are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 15 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.5 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 13 goals, or an average of 1.3 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.
It looks like a very tough assignment for Poland in this their next outing in the UEFA Nations League. A win would be a highly surprising outcome in a match where securing even a point would be deemed a big surprise.
Poland are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 18 goals, and while Poland claimed two clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match.

In the previous three games, Croatia drew 2-2 with Albania, lost 1-1 against Italy and 2-1 against Portugal. Croatia claimed a modest two wins in their past six internationals. They also drew two and lost two, scored nine goals and conceded nine.

Poland have a single win and a draw to show from their past three matches. First, they went down 1-3 against Austria, before picking up a 1-1 draw against France. Their latest match brought a 2-3 win in their encounter with Scotland. Poland won half their previous six internationals, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats.

Bookmakers have Croatia down as rather big favourites for the win, when Poland arrive at Opus Arena. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
Poland conceded a goal in their last 8 matches.
