Croatia is one of the major disappointments of the League of Nations. Before the start of the tournament, it seemed that the “checkers” would be able to compete with the leaders of the group, but in the end, they have only one victory in five matches. Croatia may well be lowered in class if they lose to Portugal. The tournament position is very controversial. At the moment, the Croats and the Swedes have three points each and the same goal difference. Portugal has no tournament motivation. The team lost to France, now they will definitely finish second in the group. At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo has no problems with motivation. The Portuguese need to score seven goals before the world record in goals for the national team. Portugal is clearly superior, Croatia has big problems with the game without Modric and Rakitic. The new generation still looks much weaker. It is logical to assume that in the second half the Croats is forced to take risks, learning the result from a parallel meeting. In such a situation, there will be more goals after the break than in the first half.
