The game will be very tough, but everyone will give Portugal the best chance of winning because they have more superior players than Croatia, especially now that CR7 has started the game. You will undoubtedly know that they will not play with a goal because Ronaldo is a goal machine. He does not toy with the net; whenever he has the opportunity, he scores. Let's see how the match ends, but I predict Portugal to win. I don't think Croatia can stop Portugal from winning. But anything can happen on the pitch. Modric is already performing weakly, and I don't think he'll do as well as he used to anymore and Portugal striker are very good i don't see what will make Portugal should not win the match tonight. i think this match is a winning game for Portugal. There information is very nice i think is just a defend game Croatia will just play against Portugal today let see how the game will end tonight.

The game is going as expected Portugal are currently leading with 2-1, Portugal are also dominating the entire game and all the three goals have been scored by two people in the same country, Cristiano Ronaldo recorded his 900th goals of his career both the club and the country make him the highest goals scorer of all time that have all his goals on record, and he is look forward to make it 1000 goals which I believe he is capable of achieving that aim because of this consistency in scoring goals, Cristiano have prove to become the only player in the history of football to reach 900th career goals, here is the break down of his goals, Real Madrid- 450, Man Utd - 145, Juventus - 101, Sporting - 5, Al-Nassr- 68, Portugal- 131

Croatia can beat anyone on their good day so of course it can beat Portugal too. Having said that, historically Croatia performs poorly vs Portugal so if I had to put money on someoone it would be Portugal (which I can't since I am Croat and can't bet against my own team).

Oh yeah, my country? I would bet against their asses if I had to ... Mind you, that doesn't mean I don't respect my wonderful country, but I just tend to careless when it comes to letting out my cash on something that's most probably gonna be a failure, depending on what competition and who they're competing with.
Already, Portugal is leading with 2:1 and this is already the wrap up of the first half. . let's hold on and see what miracles Croatians can perform in the next half.

Another interesting game in this round is France vs Italy. Curious to see whether something changes with italians as they were shit this summer.

Lol.... Seems like nothing has changed already .. I mean, we're yet to know.

It's an interesting tournament, with some good matches like Portugal vs Croatia at the start (Portugal arelady winning 1x0)
I won't be able to watch it today due to work, but I intend to watch the next matches

I admire Croatia a lot but it's noticeable that they're going through a generational change and it's a job that needs to be done and renewed, not easy for the coach
I prefer to say it like that rather than saying that the golden generation is over hehehe, every national team has to go through this process

Portugal could soon enter this phase, but I see the team with the best resources to continue with a very competitive squad, specially with Rafael Leão, Gonçalo Ramos and João Félix

Portugal against Croatia tonight is going to be a game many would expect to see a one sided game, that's the Portugal team making it hard for the visitors with goals and unexpected runs from the wingers, since we have a Portugal side that seems to be the favorite. I won't really say Portugal are going to give a better performance since CR7 is definitely going to start the game, from some of the games he started that spark of brilliance is missing in the team, like they're not that sharp and their final passes and goal decision making is never complete. Is like a commander is stopping the other players from playing what they know but to play to his (CR7) tune. Anyway, I think the Croatia side won't let the game be all about the home team, they're going to get a goal and try to defend it, but for how long, only time would tell. If I'm to go for any tip, a both team score is certain.

The Turkish National Team will play away against Wales tomorrow. Even though Türkiye seems like the favorite on paper, Wales is a very difficult away game.
A team with a system and its own school.
Even though Türkiye did very well in the European Championship, I think it will lose points tomorrow.
Even a Wales win can be tried in surprise coupons.

I am still confused why that is the case. Is it because it is a home game for Portugal? Let's assume for a second that this was a game at a European Championship, nobody would say that Portugal is a huge favorite, but indeed the bookmakers give Croatia closer to a 6-0 whereas Portugal is around a 1.50. What am I missing here? Wouldn't this usually be closer to a 2.0 for Portugal and maybe 3.5 for Croatia?

I saw a couple of guys saying that Portugal is a huge favorite and I instantly checked the odds and saw that the bookmakers see it the same way, but I can't exactly figure out why that is the case.

Anyone has a good answer here? I would never think that Croatia is worse than a 4.0 here.

I don't understand why Sweden will always find it hard to get results whenever they meet smaller teams because I don't see why they should be waiting till the second half to be getting goals. Granted they are two goals up but it's as if they needed a prodding before they'd act. Had it been the Azerbaijan player, Sheydayev hadn't missed his penalty, that means they wouldn't have woken up? I expected better from the team and with the likes of Isak, Kukusevski and the rest, this game should be an easy one.

Croatia's golden generation has passed, the last time i was impressed with this team was at the 2022 World Cup, after that there was nothing there that could impress me with them. As you also said, the pillar players there are also getting older like Luka Modric & we can't expect him to be as good as before.

For Portugal, they are always on the side that has the advantage when they meet less strong teams, Cristiano will play in the match against Croatia, it can be seen from the low odds for Anytime Goalscorer that he gets. So, what are your projections for this match? can Croatia win this match?

well, I would rather say it's the end of an era for Croatia and they should start thinking about building a new team that can be as formidable as the team that played in the World Cup finals in 2018 in Russia, though they might not be that lucky to get to level up entirely but they really need to have some changes in their dressing room because the likes of Luka Modric are almost worn-out and may soon retire. For tonight's game, I think Portugal are going to beat the Croatians because it's obvious the Portuguese have a better squad and are more coordinated team than the Croatians and besides the Portuguese have won this tournament before and would be playing with more confidence tonight than the Croatians.

I also think Portugal should win today... Croatia didn't impress me at the last Euro... They need a change of generation of players like Spain or England had... Maybe then they will become a top team again... But today I think Croatia can't do anything... Also I think there will be a lot of corners in this match...

Portugal's win over Croatia only has an impact on the head to head statistics because I don't think the UEFA Nations League is a competition that is too focused on by teams like Portugal and other teams. I think that this competition is only used to maintain the compactness of the squad formed by Roberto Martinez as Portugal coach and Zlatko Dalic as Croatia coach.

Martinez and Dalic of course think about the future of their respective squads. Maybe if they want to be compared to England and Spain, for each of Martinez and Dalic they have their own patterns because it's not good to be someone else.

As long as Croatia play seriously, they can definitely overcome Portugal's resistance.

Slava Ukraini!

Honestly, don't fell very excited about Nations League tournament. Importance of this tournament is just a bit more important than friendly games. But still going to watch. Probably biggest game of 1st matchday is San Marino - Liechtenstein. You won't see such powerhouses playing each other often. But seriously, it's good chance for these small teams to get rare wins and give some joy for their fans. I put over 1.5 goals bet on this game.
Going with Spain and Slovakia ML and over 2.5 goals in Portugal - Spain game.

Dalic’s team lacked fresh legs at the World Cup 2024, and the older players struggled to carry the team.

Dalic had young gems on the bench and it turned out that whenever young Baturina or Sucic entered the game, the game would improve significantly - but Dalic was adamant about keeping the old players in the game because he believes that he owes it to them for everything they did before. After the EURO, he declared on national TV that they (we call them senators) will play as long as they want. Unfortunately, this is something that only makes young players nervous, and one of the young hopes of Croatian football decided to wear the jersey of the Canadian national team a few days ago (Niko Sigur).

Since I saw the performance of the Croatian national team at Euro 2024, after that I no longer expected this team to be as strong as in the last World Cup. Remember that Croatia even failed to get past the group stage at Euro 2024. But that doesn't mean I don't hope this team can get through the group stage. For the group phase, maybe I predict that Croatia, who is in League A Group 1, can qualify for the next stage along with Portugal. because in my opinion Poland and Scotland are below Croatia and Portugal in terms of quality and squad depth.

But for Croatia's match against Portugal, I will favorite Portugal. Because Portugal has proven and put on a very good performance at Euro 2024. And the depth of Portugal's squad, which also has many potential young players and several star players, can be expected to be at the top in League 1 Group 1. Cristiano Ronaldo will also still play. with the Portuguese national team so I can't wait to see this match.

At Euro 2024, Portugal looked better than Croatia. Ronaldo and the entire team played vibrant football, though they were knocked out in the Round of 16 after a penalty shootout against France. Croatia, on the other hand, failed to advance from the group stage and didn’t secure a single win, with a 0-3 loss to Spain and two draws against Albania (2-2) and Italy (1-1). Dalic’s team lacked fresh legs at the World Cup 2024, and the older players struggled to carry the team.

Portugal, in contrast, has plenty of young talent, and Ronaldo is now playing a more team-oriented game. Portugal is the favorite in today’s match, but both teams will be eager to score. My prediction: both teams will score.

It seems that there will be a tight competition between Group 1 and Group 2 (League A), where Portugal's barrier to qualifying must at least conquer 2 big matches, namely Croatia and Poland, but Scotland does not rule out the possibility of providing a surprise. While in Group 2 France, Italy, and Belgium will be difficult to predict, of the three France and Italy are my favorites to qualify.

Because it was circulating that Ronaldo would appear in the 2026 cup, this is his last chance to appear with the Portuguese national team. Unfortunately, Croatia has a fairly solid defense, with Portugal's current condition it will not be easy to penetrate it.

For me today and easy pick is Spain to win against Serbia. Im from Serbia but our team dosent have at least 5 start players in our first team. Plus we arent playing good at all so i think Spain will probobly destroy us. The entire attack of Serbia isnt playing Mitrovic,Vlahovic,Jovic,Kostic,Milinkovic-Savic… so this should be an easy win for Spain with a huge odd of 1.55 currently.

Lastly, i had a nationalistic spirit when gambling made me lose my money, i'm Indonesian, and recently our team is growing very rapidly. For several occasions, i put my money on our country side, what happened was not good but bad things to me. by the way, from your statement, it means you are pessimistic that your country can win, right?

France - Italy, no need to think too much about this match, i looked at the bookies & found that France have small odds, easy win & easy money in this match.

Back then players like Luca Modric were not as old as they are now and at that time his performance was still very good as the brain behind Croatia's game. But in this tournament I don't want to say that Croatia's golden generation is over because Modric, Kovacic and several other names are still there who might be able to give their best for Croatia.

France were also poor in the summer. They got to the semi final against Italy that dropped in EURO group stage, but their overall performance was poor winning only one match all through the competition (in regular time). They will be looking to bounce back and show they are strong contenders for the next World Cup. I think France squeezes out a narrow victory.
