Croatia vs Czechia Predictions

• Croatia are unbeaten at home in four games since Euro 2024 (W3, D1).
• Czechia have won just one of their last seven competitive away fixtures.
• Croatia have scored five goals across their last three home games.

Croatia looking to close gap

Croatia made up for lost time in their opening World Cup 2026 qualifier by thrashing Gibraltar 7-0 on Friday.

Next up for Zlatko Dalić’s side is a home game against group leaders Czechia on Monday in what should be a tougher test.

The Czechs have a perfect record with nine points from three games, but this quality Croatia side should be able to make their home advantage count.

Croatia are unbeaten at home in four games since Euro 2024 and they’ve faced a decent standard of opposition during that spell, a run that includes a 2-0 Nations League win over France.

The Czechs may be in fine form but their road results have been less impressive with just one win in their last seven competitive trips, so a home win stands out for our main bet.

Croatia may have crushed Gibraltar but they may have to settle for a more modest scoreline against the Czechs and a 2-0 home win has a chance. Croatia have scored five goals across their last three home games, while Czechia have only conceded more than twice in one of their last 19 games/
