The 2018 World Cup finalist did not play successfully in the qualifying matches for the next World Cup in March. In the opening match, Croatia lost at a visit to Slovenia (0:1). Then the checkers took advantage of the convenient calendar, having won successive victories over the group’s outsiders in the person of Cyprus (1:0) and Malta (3:0).
The Shining Ones proved their place at the very bottom of European football. In 2018 they lost all 6 matches in the debut draw of the League of Nations to Belarus, Luxembourg and Moldova. And even last autumn there was the last place. However, this time there were 2 draws with Liechtenstein and Gibraltar. And they rejoiced to tears, for the dwarf not to lose 2 official matches in a row was a full-fledged achievement. After that, there were already a dozen new ones. Let’s note, perhaps, the March game with Albania, when it was possible to keep the goal dry for more than an hour. But they still lost 0:2. So, what is the successful soccer prediction?
