Croatia vs. Scotland: Tips, prognosis & odds - 22.06.2021 - EUROPE: European Championship 2021
Both Croatia and Scotland are still without a win at EURO 2021. Accordingly, both nations, who played a draw on the second day of Group D and thus scored one of six possible points, are about to have their last chance at the round of 16. If the parallel game between the Czech Republic and England ends in a draw, the winner would only be able to enter the knockout round as a third party.

Croatia - statistics & current form
The Croatian national football team initially lost the opening game against England 1-0, before there was a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic on matchday two in Glasgow. After all, the selection of Zlatko Dalic made up for a 1-0 break deficit. However, the reigning vice world champion is not doing really well.

The Kockasti have been without a win for a total of three games in a European Championship finals, which means that the negative trend that has persisted since the great success at the 2018 World Cup continued. Not a single one of the last four international matches could be won.

Only two wins out of the last eleven internationals
This means that the Vatreni (in German: the fiery ones) have a total of just two wins in the last eleven international matches - a 1-0 against Cyprus and a 3-0 against Malta in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The nation, which has slipped to 14th place in the FIFA world rankings, is about to end in the preliminary round. A fate that befell the Kockasti at the 2004 and 2012 European Championships. A fate that could still be averted with a victory over Scotland.

In five duels with Scotland without a win
However, the fact that Scotland is one of only three nations that Croatia has faced several times without ever having won a game is problematic. In five duels, the Valtreni did not achieve a single victory. Only against France (eight games) and Portugal (seven games) is the Kockasti's lean period longer.

Scotland - statistics & current form
For the third time ever, the Scottish national football team is currently taking part in the finals of a European championship. Neither in 1992 nor 1996 have the Bravehearts made it past the preliminary round.

Now, however, the winner of the play-offs of the group winners of the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League (victory on penalties over Serbia) could make it into the knockout round of a European Championship for the very first time with a win at Hampden Park at home.

In five of the eight completed European Championship games without own goals
For the Scots, the fact that the football dwarf now enjoys the home right, which was able to wrest a 0-0 from overpowering neighbors England in London on Friday evening, speaks for the Scots.

In Glasgow's Hampden Park, the Bravehearts only lost one of their last nine international matches - the 2-0 defeat of the Czech Republic on the first matchday of EURO 2021.
Steve Clarke's troop has to increase first and foremost on the offensive. Not only did the Scottish national football team remain goalless in both Group D games, but overall the Caledonian selection failed to score in five of the eight European Championship games played.

Only one defeat in the last seven internationals
Nevertheless, we now favor the tip for Croatia against Scotland that both teams score. After all, the Scots have no choice but to play to win against the Kockasti at home. With a draw, the Scots finally stayed behind the Croatians because of the worse goal difference and would have been eliminated as the bottom of the group.

In the meantime, the latest balance sheet is encouraging. In the five international matches before EURO 2021, the Scots always scored and scored a total of ten goals. Overall, the Bravehearts have only lost one of their last seven games. Accordingly, they can go to the home game in Hampden Park with confidence.

Betting base forecast & Croatia Croatia - Scotland tip
In the case of Croatia against Scotland, our prognosis is shaped by the starting position. Normally, the potential for a low-goal game would be great, especially since there were no more than two goals in any of the five duels between the two nations. However, after only one of six possible points from the first two group games, both teams now have to play for victory.
Free soccer picks
Accordingly, we assume that sooner or later a hot fight could develop in the Hexenkessel Hampden Park, in which both nations have to play for victory.
It is true that the Croatians are slightly favored. Judging by the fact that they have never won against the Scots in five games, the win bet is not recommended. We are therefore counting on both teams to score in this third group game.
