Croatia vs Slovenia Predictions
- Croatia have scored at least twice in five of their last six home games.
- Slovenia have only won one of their last five away fixtures.
Vatreni to return to winning ways
Croatia were unfortunate to lose 2-0 to Belgium in their first World Cup warm-up friendly, but they look primed to boost morale ahead of the tournament’s start when they face Slovenia on Sunday.
That defeat ended a run of five successive home wins for the Vatreni, which includes a 5-1 mauling of Czechia and a stunning win against France.
They scored at least twice in each of these five wins, and they should repeat that feat against a Slovenia side that conceded twice at Montenegro in March.
Backing Croatia over 1.5 team goals appeals, and a repeat of Slovenia’s 3-0 defeat at Switzerland in September could be in store, with Croatia scoring exactly three goals in two of their last three at home.
