Croatia vs Slovenia Match Preview

Croatia will play against Slovenia in this friendly game at Education City Stadium (Al Rayyan) in Qatar. 

Croatia have already qualified for the World Cup 2022 as they have finished one point above Russia. Croatia are in very good form having won four out of the last five games played. They have very good quality players as compared to their opponents and they would want to win this game to continue their good form. 

Croatia was amazing in the last World Cup as they reached the final game where they lost to France. Their best player is Modric who is now 36 years old but he is still playing very well at the top level. Croatia would start him this game, probably alongside Kovacic in midfield. 

Slovenia were in the same group as Croatia in World Cup 2022 qualifiers but they finished in 4th position hence could not qualify. Slovenia have won two, drawn once, and lost two out of the last five games played. 

The best player for Slovenia is their goalkeeper Oblak who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Out of the last four head-to-head meetings between these sides, three were won by Croatia. Their last encounter was won by Croatia by three goals to nil. I predict Croatia will also win this game.
