In the early morning of June 15, Beijing time, the semifinals of the UEFA Nations League ushered in a blockbuster dialogue, the Netherlands vs Croatia. This year's UEFA Nations League final will be played in the Netherlands and will be played at the De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam. From the data point of view, the Netherlands, which has the advantage of home turf, is obviously more optimistic.
The Netherlands have been strong in the UEFA Nations League, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 16 points from the group stage, beating Belgium to first place in Group D. In the subsequent World Cup, the Netherlands stopped in the round of eight, but won 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, beat the United States 3-1 in the knockout stage, and Argentina was unbeaten in the 1/4 final and later champions Argentina in 90 minutes, and finally lost on penalties. However, in a 4-0 defeat to France in the European Championship qualifiers in March, the Gallic Roosters easily overwhelmed the Dutch defence in just one half-time, and then faced Gibraltar with 50 shots to win 3-0. Two years ago, the Orange-clad team beat Gibraltar 13-0 over two legs, and it was clear that the attacking firepower had weakened.
Croatia started low in the UEFA Nations League, losing 3-0 to Austria in the first game, then won 1 win and 1 draw against France, and finally won 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 13 points to beat Denmark to top the group and advance to the last four. On the World Cup stage, Croatia withstood the pressure to draw with Belgium in the final game of the group stage, then showed tenacious endurance, knocking out Japan and the biggest favourites Brazil on penalties, and was eliminated by Argentina in the semi-finals to finish third in the World Cup. In the European Championship qualifiers in March, they beat Turkey 2-0 away after drawing with Wales.
Compensation figures of 1.76 (Dutch win), 3.10 (draw) and 4.05 (Croatia win) were drawn for the match, with Depay and De Ligt both missing the game due to injury, and the loss of Gervadior by the Plaid Army left the back line equally stretched. The payout for the win was 1 to 2.8, and the Netherlands were expected to take the lead and win the game at half-time.
In the total number of goals scored in this game, the payout for 2 goals is 1 to 3.3, and the payout for 3 goals is 1 to 3.75, under the leadership of Modric, Croatia's team execution tactics are obvious to all, I believe that the number of goals scored by the two teams will not be too much. In terms of score statistics, the Netherlands paid 1-0 to 6.4, the 1-1 draw was 1-6.5, Croatia won more than 1-10, and the Tulips at home struggled to give the Plaid Army a chance.
