Draw or Croatia o Win
Croatia are in great form while playing on the road last they have won their last five trips. The stats are showing a 60% Croatia winning chance since they won six of their previous ten fixtures while a draw has a 25% possibility.
Over 2 Goals
Two or more goals were scored in all of Austria’s last nine fixtures, home and away. On Croatia’s side, seven of their previous ten fixtures across all competitions produced over two goals. Thus, the stats are showing an 80% chance that we will see two or more goals scored in this game.
Croatia 0 Goal Handicap
In their last ten fixtures in all competitions, Croatia won six drew three and lost one of their games and covered the 0 goal handicap in nine of them. Austria meanwhile, failed against the suggested handicap in three of their last four outings.
Austria
After the 0-2 defeat at the Stade de France in Paris on Thursday, Austria extended their winless run to four in the Nations League. Das Team has one win in their five UNL games and that was in their opening game of the 2022/23 edition away to Croatia by 3-0.
It’s been all downhill for coach Ralf Rangnick’s team since then as they are suffering in attack as well, scoring twice in four games. That attacking weakness was also present in Paris on Thursday night as the Austrians failed to have one shot at the French goal ending the game with four attempts of which none were on target.
Croatia
Croatia are one win away from reaching their first semi-finals in the Nations League. After starting horribly their 2022/23 campaign losing to Austria at home by 0-3, Croatia stepped up a gear and took control of the proceedings in group one. They now lead the group with ten points, one ahead of Denmark at the second position.
Obviously, coach Zlatko Dalic will urge his team to keep their momentum and record their fourth win in a row. The Blazers beat Denmark in Zagreb in the previous after a very close and tough match. A 79th-minute strike from Majer broke the deadlock and handed his team the much-needed three points to overtake the Danes at the top.
Surely, the Austrians will fight to stay in League A as they are at the fourth position in group one with four points. However, It won’t be easy against a Croat side that is looking to finish top of the group. Nevertheless, we prefer to back a double chance of a draw or Croatia win.

Croatia’s attack have been effective in the last four games, to say the least. The Blazers scored at least a goal in their last four fixtures in the Nations League. Austria’s defense on the other side have no clean sheets in their last four games. Hence, with odds of 1.62 at 22Bet, we will back Croatia to score over one goal.
