Thu 12th Nov, 19:45 BST, Wembley Stadium, London

Best Tip: England to win

As training goes on this week and the England players prepare themselves for this match, the bookies have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we use in our predictive algorithms. The Wembley Stadium hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Croatia in the past, and we expect more of the same come Thursday evening. A win / draw / win home win is our tip.

Goal Statistics

England's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 5 consecutive UEFA Nations League outings. A PG of 2.6 suggests that run should continue on Thursday evening.

With a PG of just 0.8, Croatia look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that England have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive UEFA Nations League matches, and it could be a long evening for S. Bilić's men.
