Croatia vs Norway Prediction and Football Tips
Euro 2016 football tips – Croatia vs Norway prediction
Croatia will welcome the massive boost of being able to welcome Luka Modric back into the squad, while boasting talents such as Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic & Barcelona youngster and hot prospect Alen Halilovic.
Norway have called up their own hot prospect in Martin Odegaard, who plays for Barcelona’s rivals Real Madrid, so that is an interesting one to watch if the two prospects are given a chance.
Croatia have scored an average of two goals per game over the last ten, which is impressive in comparison to Norway’s 0.9. Statistics favour Croatia again, as they concede less than a goal a game with 0.9, bettering the Norwegians who concede more than a goal a game with 1.2.
- In the last ten games, half of Croatia’s games have involved 2.5 goals or more, while Norway have been involved in four.
- The last time the two sides met, was three years ago and the game ended in a 1-1 draw, both goals scored late on.
Croatia sit at the top of Euro 2016 qualifying Group H, having won three games, drawn one and lost none. Norway are only a point behind, winning three and losing one. This game will be a good one, it’s close at the top if you include Italy who sit in second on the same number of points as Croatia, so all three will want to win every game.
If this game was being played in Norway, it would be a lot tougher to call, but the game is at Zagreb’s Maksimir stadium and with Croatia having some big names back in the squad, it might just be too much to ask for a Norway win.
