Betting tips fo France vs Croatia 15.07.2018

The great final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia faces Les Bleus, champions in 1998, with Croatia's Luka Modric. France eliminated Uruguay in the quarterfinals (2-0), in a more comfortable match than expected for the Deschamps in the absence of Edinson Cavani and the gift of Fernando Muslera in the second goal. In the semi-final, a Umtiti header goal was enough to eliminate Belgium.

The runner-up of Europe eliminated Argentina in the quarterfinals, finally playing a match up to expectations. The selection of Didier Deschamps is, by far, the greatest potential in terms of staff, but gives the feeling of doing just enough to win each match.

The fear of the French coach is the great weakness of a team that has top-level players (Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappe, Kanté), top-level team players (Varane, Umtiti, Lloris, Matuidi, Giroud, Lucas Hernandez, Lemar ...) and a new generation of players with a huge future (apart from Mbappe, Lemar and Lucas, the right-handed Pavard).

In this World Cup, France won its first two matches by the minimum against Australia (2-1) and Peru (1-0). The draw against Denmark earned him to give rest to the holders and to pass first of his group. Against the Albiceleste, the exhibition of Kylian Mbappe decided the Gallic pass to these quarterfinals, where they arrive with the vitola of favorite and with the feeling that they need a match against a rival of first level in defense to clear all doubts.

Croatia played its third overtime, defeating England 2-1. The credit of the Croatians is enormous, as they came from playing two penalties in the previous two matches, eliminating Denmark in the round of 16 and in the quarterfinals the host of the tournament, Russia. The Balkan team took all nine points in their three matches, beating Nigeria (2-0), Argentina (3-0) and Iceland, showing their best football in this 21st Century, and will be the first of their group no matter what happens in this shock.

The Balkan selection complicated life in an unthinkable way and needed to reach the repechage to get their ticket to Russia. Before Cacic was dismissed in his post after the ridiculous draw at home against Finland, that nothing was played. Only in this game, Croatia and his rival scored in the same game, making it clear that when they fit a goal, they have not been able to overcome.

Since the start it has been seen that this qualifying phase was not going to be easy for Modric and his teammates, who made their debut with a draw at home against Turkey (1-1). The win in Kosovo (0-6) and consecutive victories against Finland (0-1), Iceland (2-0) and Ukraine (1-0) put them in a privileged position, which the Balkan team has insisted on to lose. First, it fell in Iceland (1-0), winning by miracle to Kosovo at home (1-0), before falling in Turkey (2-0) days later, at the beginning of last September. The draw with Finland left them with 2 points less than the Icelanders before the last day, in which the Croatians managed to win in Kiev by 0-2.



These two teams met for the first time in the semi-final of the 1998 World Cup in France, winning the Gauls 2-1. Since then, they have drawn in the two games they played in (2004 and 2011). The forecast is that France must impose its power and win in the 90 minutes regulation.
