[UEFA Nations League] Croatia vs Poland - Both teams are not in their best form, but I expect an exciting game.

Match Stats

In the first match of the new UEFA Nations League campaign, Croatia faced Portugal away. The Croatians conceded two goals in the first half but managed to pull one back in the dying minutes. In the second half, Croatia attempted to equalize but failed to create significant chances. Portugal held on for a narrow 2-1 win. Croatia still has a chance to reach the Nations League playoffs, but they need to start winning.

In the previous edition, Croatia reached the final, only to lose to Spain in a penalty shootout. At Euro 2024, Croatia failed to make it to the knockout stage, with two losses and two draws in their three matches. This was not enough to progress to the Round of 16. Croatia’s form is not at its best—over the last five matches, they have won just once, lost twice, and drawn twice.In their first match of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League, Poland delivered a true goal-scoring spectacle. They faced Scotland, scoring twice in the first half. However, in the second half, the Scots managed to level the score. Just when it seemed the match would end 2-2, Scotland made a mistake in the dying minutes, conceding a penalty. Poland converted the spot-kick, securing a 3-2 victory.

Poland currently sits at the top of the group, though it’s too early to place much weight on standings, as this is only the first round. Like Croatia, Poland also failed to make it to the knockout stage of the European Championship, drawing just once in three games and exiting the tournament with a single point. Poland has also been inconsistent in their last five matches, with two wins, two losses, and one draw.

Prediction:  Croatia WIN
