And suddenly, things became interesting in Group D of the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Turkey’s win in Croatia made it possible for Wales and, in some wild scenarios, Armenia to end up in Germany. A lot is at stake in Cardiff, with both sides in a do or die position.
Before Betting on Wales vs. Croatia
The Dragons are kicking themselves for a defeat against Armenia at home in June. If it weren’t for that, they would be in a much better situation and even in a position to calculate before the final rounds. However, Wales likes doing things the hard way, and we’ve seen that in the past already.
The good thing for Rob Page is that his boys are coming off two wins, one in the qualifiers, 0-2 in Latvia, and the second over Gibraltar in a friendly international clash, 4-0. When we add that they played without goals against South Korea, it means that the Dragons didn’t concede for the past 270 minutes.
Croatia suffered a loss at home to Turkey, 0-1, which wasn’t planned at all. The bronze medalists from the previous World Cup ended up in a tough situation because that failure pushed them down to second place. Even though they have a game in hand compared to Turkey and Armenia, nothing is certain for the Croats anymore.
Five of their last seven games across all the competitions have ended with under 2.5 hits, which is nothing strange for the Croats, a team that likes to play slow-paced football. They are tactically very well-endowed, with Luka Modric in the middle of everything, being the playmaker of the unit.

Both teams don’t play high-efficient games. The first in Croatia saw two goals, and we expect to see a similar clash in Cardiff, with two goals at most. Wales’ defense is solid these days, and the hosts won’t be too eager to open up and attack. The same goes for the Croats.
