England v Croatia : World Cup match betting preview, prediction and odds

Wed 17th Jun, 21:00 BST, AT&T Stadium, Arlington

Croatia are away on Wednesday night, as manager Zlatko Dalić takes his side to visit England and Thomas Tuchel at the AT&T Stadium in the World Cup. We've analysed both clubs' last 20 World Cup matches, as well as trends within the competition and the market, to generate our match predictions. All the statistics, including head-to-heads, are shown below, alongside odds from leading bookmakers.

Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 74% chance of England and Croatia 3 goals or less combined during this World Cup fixture according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.29.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think England are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 56% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.73.

Goal Statistics

England have been steady in attack of late, finding the net in 20 consecutive World Cup outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Croatia on Wednesday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

With a PG of just 0.9, Croatia look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that England haven't conceded a goal in 6 consecutive World Cup games, and it could be a long night for Z. Dalić's men.
