Euro Qualifiers: Croatia vs Wales; Croatia aims for three points! Wales can't hide their defeat
The Euro Qualifiers continue! Croatia are hungry for victory at home, Wales have little to do
At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on March 26, Group D of the European Cup qualifiers will usher in a big match, and Croatia, known as the "Plaid Army", will face the "Red Dragon" Wales at home. In terms of strength, Croatia is clearly the dominant side, and, still playing at home, the team naturally wants to take all three points and get off to a good start. However, for Wales, although the team is not as strong as the other side, the team still hopes to make a difference. At the very least, try to grab a point on the road. Therefore, in terms of fighting spirit, both sides are extremely high.
In the last two World Cups, Croatia's performance is undoubtedly impressive. Under the leadership of coach Dalić, the team won the World Cup runner-up and the World Cup third place, just one step away from making history. However, in the European Championship, Croatia still did not break through. Therefore, this European Championship is undoubtedly a big opportunity for Croatia. After all, as Modric ages, it won't be long before the team wants to break into the top few World Cups. Moreover, from the perspective of the squad, Croatia's strength in the front court has declined to a certain extent.
On the front line, without Mandzukic, Rebić and others, it is difficult for Croatia to open the situation with only Orcic, Kramaric and others. Fortunately, in the midfield, the strength of the team is still strong. Especially in the back line, the rise of Gervadior and Stanišic has greatly improved the team's defense. It is precisely because of this that Croatia can push players in midfield to the front line and use the advantage of numbers to make up for the lack of strength of the striker. In this game, against the weaker Wales, Croatia will obviously continue this tactic and strive to get three points.
On the other hand, in Wales, the team's strength has declined seriously! Especially after the departure of the star Bale, who will be the team's main scorer in the forward line has also become a big question. In the FIFA rankings, Wales is now only ranked 28th. However, due to geographical reasons, most of the players in Wales still play in the Premier League and League One, and they are not as weak as imagined. For Wales, if they play their speed advantage and physical advantage, it will be the key point for the team to score points. However, when facing a team like Croatia, it is still difficult for Wales to make a difference.
In fact, Wales has already shown fatigue during the World Cup. Not only did it fail to achieve a single victory, but in attack, the team did little, scoring only one goal in three games. Now, without Bell, Wales wants to go further, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult. Fortunately, in the same group, except for Turkey, there are not many great teams. Therefore, instead of focusing on the difficult Croatia, Wales should prepare for the match with Turkey. As long as the team can beat Turkey twice, then it is not difficult for the team to finish second in the group and qualify for the main stage of the European Championship. So Wales has its own plans.
For Croatia, the team naturally doesn't think too much. On the one hand, it naturally comes from the overall strength of the team; On the other hand, it is the team's excellent form and the fact that the team is still playing at home, which gives the team a lot of confidence. On the other hand, Wales, although the team will not give up easily, but in terms of strength, the team is not as good as the opponent, and in the past record of head-to-head, the team is also behind. This is obviously a huge blow to the confidence of the team. In addition, the team now has no banner figure, which will undoubtedly be more difficult. Therefore, the final result of this match is likely to be the final victory of Croatia, who play at home.
