Croatia vs Belgium prediction

Zlatko Dalic and his experienced Croatia side, who are still captained by 2018 Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric, have been steady once again as they seek to go deep again this summer after making the final in 2018 and then the semi-finals in 2022.

Belgium, under the management of Roma boss Rudi Garcia, come into this one on the back of unconvincingly beating off Wales and North Macedonia to qualify for this summer in their group before solid performances against the United States and Mexico in March.

The Belgians 5-2 defeat of the USA in March was extremely impressive but the Croats also impressed in the spring and both teams scoring may well be a decent bet for this pre-tournament friendly in Croatia.

Croatia vs Belgium tip: Both teams to score
