Croatia Azerbaijan betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The market that we suggest for this game is the existence of some goals in the first stage. The Croatian national team have all the conditions to conquer the first win in this stage of qualifying for the UEFA European Championship of 2020 as they hold a more evolved game model and players of enormous quality. In this way, we believe Croatia will enter the field at full-steam, making that to bet in favor of the goals still in the first 45' is of great value.

Preview
Croatia and Azerbaijan face at Stadion Maksimir, in a match for this stage of the EC Qualification (Qualifying Round). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 03‑09‑2015, and ended in a draw by (0‑0). The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Croatia presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Croatia

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 9 wins and 6 draws at their stadium. They come to this match after a away loss against England by (2‑1). Croatia has won 8 and tied 2 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 4.

Croatia come to this match with a 2-1 away defeat to England in the League of Nations game. Due to this poor performance, the Croats were relegated to League B. In this game against Azerbaijan, coach Zlatko Dalic should use an eleven very similar to the last match, lined up in 4-3-3, benefiting the maintenance of ball possession and the organized attacks: Modric, the team's captain, is the great maestro of the team. On the other hand, it is important to emphasize the quality and opportunism of Ante Rebic, very effective player in the finalization. There are no weight absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Lovre Kalinić, Duje Ćaleta-Car, Domagoj Vida, Borna Barišić, Josip Brekalo, Mateo Kovačić, Ivan Rakitić, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić, Andrej Kramarić, Bruno Petković.

Analysis Azerbaijan

The away team had direct access to this group stage. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got an away loss against Kosovo by (4‑0). In the last 7 away matches Azerbaijan has won 2, tied 1 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Azerbaijan come to this match with a 4-0 away loss to Kosovo, in the League of Nations game. In this match against the World runner-up, coach Qurban Qurbanov should play in the 4-2-3-1, however, with a more cautious strategy, since the opponents hold great individual values. Still, Azerbaijan should create some danger through counterattack: Madatov is largely responsible for this kind of transition. It is inevitable to highlight the scorer Rufat Dadashov, very competent player in the finalization. All the best players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Salahat Agayev, Maksim Medvedev, Rahil Mammadov, Badavi Guseynov, Gara Garayev, Shakhriyar Rahimov, Richard Almeida, Eddy Silvestre, Dimitrij Nazarov, Mahir Emreli, Ramil Sheydaev.
