This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

England has more quality, but Croatia have long managed tournament matches well and can slow down the favorite. A draw suits a match where England hold territorial superiority while Croatia respond with experience and patience. Our probability distribution is England 46%, draw 27% and Croatia 27%. At odds of 3.85 the model sees EV of about +4.0%, therefore the pick only makes sense as a smaller, high-variance stake. The risk is England’s physicality in the penalty area and the possibility of the match being decided from a set-piece. Status: SMALL BET.
