Betting on Turkey
The Turkish national team played 10 matches in 2022. In the UEFA qualifiers they lost 3-1 to Portugal in March, and in friendlies they won two (2-1 to Czech Republic and 2-1 to Scotland) and lost one (2-3 against Italy). In the Nations League, they defeated Lithuania twice (2-0 and 0-6), defeated and drew with Luxembourg (0-2 and 3-3), and defeated and then lost to the Faroe Islands (4-0 and 2-1, respectively).
Taking on the Croatian team presents an excellent opportunity for Turkey to demonstrate its true potential in the competition, as they must defeat them to contend for a spot in Euro 2024.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Doğan Alemdar; Samet Akaydin, Çağlar Söyüncü, Ozan Kabak; Onur Bulut, Salih Özcan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Eren Elmalı; Cengiz Ünder, Doğukan Sınık, Enes Ünal.
Betting on Croatia
The Croatian national team is coming off a formidable 2022, a year in which it finished third at the World Cup in Qatar. This successful process has as a precedent the second place in Russia 2018, when the team lost to France in the final. Considering all of this, the federation of that country ratified in the position the coach of both cycles, Zlatko Dalic. His new contract now runs until 2026.
The latter, in turn, ratified his confidence in his team on Arabian soil:
We do not have to change the team that won the bronze medal at the World Cup a few months ago, so the list includes the 23 players that went to Qatar.
Among them, the presence of Luka Modric stands out who, at 38 years of age, will be looking to continue writing great history at Euro 2024.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Dominik Livaković; Josip Stanišić, Josip Šutalo, Joško Gvardiol, Ivan Perišić; Luka Modrić, Mateo Kovačić; Lovro Majer, Andrej Kramarić, Mislav Oršić; Marko Livaja.
JefeBet Prediction
The recent history of Turkey vs Croatia indicates that, of the last five matches they have played, Turkey won only one (1-0, on September 5, 2017), but so did Croatia (0-1 on June 12, 2016). In other words, most of the outcomes were draws, and the final match between the two resulted in a draw as well, a 3-3 draw on November 11, 2020.
This time, however, at JefeBet we believe that it will be Croatia who will the match.
Prediction: Croatia wins by 2 to 0.
