Croatia vs Czech Republic Preview
Croatia will be eager to finish their Nations League campaign in style after showing signs of improvement under Slaven Bilic, despite suffering back-to-back 2-1 defeats to Spain and England. Luka Modric and Co. need just one point to secure third place in the standings, and several changes are expected for this encounter. Modric, Ante Budimir, and Mario Pasalic are all pushing for starting berths. Croatia have struggled defensively of late, conceding an average of 2.75 goals per game in their last four home outings, meaning that a high-scoring affair is on the cards in Osijek.
Czech Republic, meanwhile, have been struggling to compete at this level, having lost all five of their group matches. Their latest setback was a 2-0 defeat to Spain, with defender Ladislav Krejci receiving a red card and subsequently missing this encounter through suspension. The visitors have also been particularly vulnerable away from home, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game across their last three outings. Midfielder Michal Sadilek is back from suspension.
Croatia have avoided defeat in all five previous meetings with Czech Republic, and we expect that trend to continue. Our main prediction is Croatia to Win, alongside Both Teams to Score, and Over 1.5 goals, with four of the last five H2H encounters producing goals at both ends.
This Nations League match will be played on Sunday, 15 November 2026 at 19:45 in Opus Arena, Osijek.
