France vs Croatia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The national football team of France vs Croatia in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 quarterfinal. The first leg ended in disaster for the French, as Croatia scored two goals while France managed to score none.

France vs Croatia Preview

Kylian Mbappe and his teammates will be at home, but they will be lacking confidence due to the mountain they must scale. The French national football squad will face difficult challenges. They had a higher attack rate than Croatia, but they did not score any goals and allowed two due to a sloppy defense. They will not attempt to replicate the same blunders here.

Luka Modric and his teammates lead the way and will seek to defend effectively once more. They had a decent offensive rate, and they outperformed the French squad. However, it will not be an easy match for Croatia’s national football squad, as France is capable of reversing the tide with their powerful lineup.
