CROATIA U20 – NEW ZEALAND U20: PREDICTIONS

The Fifa U20 World Cup continues with the 3^rd round of games in Group E. Croatia are almost certainly through to the last 16 after two strong performances. New Zealand are almost certainly eliminated and rightly so as they have been one of the poorest sides in the competition.

Croatia u20 are a big, strong side who are not afraid to mix it up and play a very psychical style of football. They opened up with a difficult tie against Uruguay and this almost dirty style of theirs was too much for a intimidated Uruguay team. A 1-0 win for Croatia was a fair result; next match saw them face an underrated Uzbekistan side. Croatia were expected to brush them aside with ease but it was not so. The Asian team more than matched their Balkan counterparts and a 1-1 draw was a fair result.

New Zealand u20 have looked nothing above a below average side and coming from the weakest confederation that was always going to be the case. Two games and two heavy defeats see the Oceania side needing a miracle in this last game. They need a win of 3 goals or more and a host of results elsewhere going in their favour. After losing heavily to Uzbekistan and Uruguay without scoring this looks on the cards against a solid Croatia side. Apart from a few long range efforts New Zealand have hardly troubled the scorer in this competition.

CROATIA U20 – NEW ZEALAND U20: BETTING TIPS

This looks a really one sided game and the only problem for Croatia could be complacency. This looks unfounded though as the side look a ruthless and effective unit. New Zealand have looked poor in two games so far and I cannot see them scoring here either. The odds are far too low on the Balkan side though so we need another angle for a bet. Croatia will not set out to destroy New Zealand as a win here is almost assured, so no need to overdo it and leave themselves exhausted for the knockout stages. I take a Croatia Win To Nil at 1.72 at bet365. New Zealand have rarely threatened on goal and a low scoring win for Croatia looks on the cards here
