Azerbaijan – Croatia is a match in Group E of the preliminaries for the 2020 European Championship. The match will be played on Monday, from 17:00.
Croatia pushed to the limit in the last straight duel about 6 months ago, with a score of 2-1. The guests of that match opened the scoring in the 19th minute, through Ramil Sheydaev, but Modric & co. they managed to come back through the successes of Borna Barisic (44 ‘) and Andrej Kramaric (79’). This was only Croatia’s second success in direct confrontations with Azerbaijan (3). The previous victory was obtained in 2014, 6-0 at home, the second straight match being concluded, 0-0 in Azerbaijan.
Ivan Rakitic and Mateo Kovacic are absent from the guests for this confrontation.
The hosts are the weakest in this group. They have received at least two goals in each of the 4 matches played in Group E and it is expected that this average will be respected in the Monday match.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,75
