Croatia vs Czechia prediction
Croatia began their FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign in emphatic fashion with a resounding 7-0 win over Gibraltar on Friday, which will have sent a message out to their rest of their Group L opponents that they will be the team to beat in the section.
Perhaps their toughest test will come here though, as they take on a Czechia side who have made a perfect start to their own campaign, their 2-0 triumph over Montenegro on Friday making it nine points from a possible nine on offer so far.
A competitive affair between two strong sides is expected here. Both are well-organised at the back and this could very much be a match with defences on top. With that in mind, a low-scoring affair could be on the cards.
Croatia vs Czechia tip: Under 2.5 goals
