The fifth matchday of the UEFA Nations League is approaching. On Thursday evening at 20.45 CET Croatia will have to face Denmark. Denmark is currently leading group A, with Croatia trailing. In case Denmark wins – they are already qualified for the Final Four tournament. Both teams will definitely try their best to win. Who do you favor? We checked the best Croatia vs Denmark odds for you!
Croatia Form-Check
Croatia won the first leg 1:0 in Copenhagen in June. In addition, they also won 1:0 against defending champions France at the Stade de France a few days later.
This game should definitely be an interesting one. Ahead of the top match at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, we are expecting a fairly close encounter, but are slightly more on the side of the home side. They are definitely a good team. Since the EURO 2021, they only lost one single game out of thirteen. This defeat was against Austria to start off the Nations League. Denmark needs to be sharp – otherwise, Luka Modric and co. will take advantage.
They have proven their strength, especially in both matches against France. Besides the impressive victory, they could also manage to get away with another draw. Due to those results, they are slightly in favor of Croatia vs Denmark odds.
Denmark Form-Check
Probably no one would have expected Denmark to lead the group after four matchdays, especially with teams like France and Croatia in their group. Danish Dynamite still managed to achieve it – and they definitely want to keep it like that.
It won’t come easy though, with a couple of key players missing like Poulsen, Wind, Cornelius, and Skov. The two Bundesliga players Ingvartsen and Lindström might also be not available.
They still have a very good lineup and what they are capable of did they already shown during the last thirteen matches since the EURO 2021. They managed to get away with ten wins out of those games. A fairly impressive stat line. The three defeats came against Scotland, the Netherlands, and last but not least against today’s opponent: Croatia.
Obviously, they want to also prepare themselves for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, where they will face France, Australia, and Tunesia.
Croatia vs Denmark prediction
The Danes want to take revenge for their home defeat against Croatia and defend their lead in Group A1. However, the visitors will have to make do without a number of regulars, especially on the offensive.
The Croatia vs Denmark odds are definitely working in favor of the home team. Currently, the winning odds are sitting at 2.50 for Croatia and 3.00 for Denmark.
We are not expecting Denmark to go all in though. They could easily live with a draw and still keep the lead of the group. It might be a very intense match but we don’t think that it’s going to be a match packed with goals. Why not take a look first at the match and place a live bet as well?
Our prediction: Both teams score: no with odds of 1.85.
P.S. Don’t forget about the upcoming NHL season that’s slowly approaching. The first match of the season will be held on Friday the 7th of October between the Nashville Predators and San José Sharks. The odds are quite tempting!
