Betting Tip for matchday 0 of the 2021 International Friendlies between Belgium and Croatia.

Belgium vs Croatia, International Friendly 06.06.2021

Ahead of the European Championships that start in under a week, Belgium and Croatia will engage in a sparring session at King Baudouin Stadium this Sunday.

Both teams will be looking for a momentum-building performance in this final warm-up fixture for Euro 2020 after lackluster performances in their last respective friendlies.

We expect an exciting game here and we will turn the spotlight on 1xBet betting app prices in this preview.

BELGIUM

A 1-1 draw against Greece in Thursday’s friendly is not quite the performance Roberto Martinez was hoping for as he rallies his troops for the Euros. That said, the result still stretched their unbeaten run at home to 32 matches.

The world cup semifinalists have maintained their position as the top-ranked team in FIFA but their ambition is to win a major trophy with this generation of talented players like Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard, Mertens, and others.

Although Martinez is sweating on the fitness of some of his bug guns, he will still have a wide array of talent to select a strong side for this final hurrah before stepping onto the bright lights of the Euros.

CROATIA

The visitors also had a glorious outing in the 2018 final, having gone all the way to the finals where they lost to France. They haven’t quite been able to reach those heights since and their confidence must have taken a dip after they could only draw 1-1 with lowly Armenia in their own warm-up friendly on Tuesday.

Zlatko Dalic still has some remnants from the 2018 final team like Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic, and Mateo Kovacic, who although still have talent, have piled up a lot of mileage and have seemingly lost a step or two.

The team is not in very good shape coming into this match, with just two wins from their last eight games and four losses in that span. With an opener against England looming on the horizon, this will be an excellent match to gauge their preparedness for the tournament.
