We’re looking forward to seeing how Denmark and Croatia are shaping up for this Nations League encounter on 22 September. It will take place roughly two months before the 2022 World Cup takes place, with the sides having met as recently as 10 June where a Mario Pašalić goal claimed a victory for the Blazers.
Croatia also showed a stubborn defensive side when claiming a 1-0 win in France, with a Luka Modric making it a second consecutive win by that scoreline and we know that Zlatko Dalic’s side are operating with a tough rearguard which points to this clash being a potentially low-scoring one.
Ultimately, both national managers will be keen on rotating as many players as possible, with Denmark having a home clash a few days later when they line up against France, while Croatia will have a trip to Austria so there will be players who are used sparingly.
This is the last chance for World Cup managers to fine tune their squads ahead of the tournament, with the bookies finding it hard to split Croatia and Denmark. If we think it’s going to be a low-scoring encounter, then the draw naturally comes into play and you could even consider the No Goalscorer option.
