The group of attacking players from the Croatian national team can scare any defence: Mandzukic, Perisic, Kalinic, Halilovic and Modric all are showing their best in Serie A and La Liga. As we remember, Ante Cacic’ team scored three goals against Russia in November in a friendly.
Israel can’t now be rated even as high as Russia – they are only 67th in the FIFA world rankings. They lost their two last games against Cyprus (1:2) and Belgium (1:3) last October.
We can find value in backing Croatia to score more than two goals in the upcoming game. The odds at 2.90 are pretty decent. The Croatians are good enough to secure a solid home win.
