Uzbekistanas - Colombia

Perhaps not everyone will understand this choice, but the Croatian team seems very disappointing. Although the footballers are a serious team, age takes its toll and even the same Modric is not the same as before, as we saw yesterday with De Bruyne. Other Croatian veterans also seem to be worse, with a changed balance between their prices and quality. The English players are young and solid, capable of playing very well, and with their youthfulness I believe they will dominate the field and handle the elder Croatians.

The Croatian defense looks poor and this team is consistently conceding goals, while the veteran-led team cannot keep up with the young and excellent English footballers. Goals must be scored, as the English attack looks exceptionally strong, and I do not have high expectations for the Croatians.

An interesting match is predicted. Of course, the favorites are the English, but I won't jump to conclusions. I admire Kane for his goal coefficient. This forward had an impressive season, scoring 61 goals!! Throughout the season, he showed remarkable form. He is also a main player in the English national team. With creative players like Rice, Bellingham, and Saka on his side, it should be easier for him to shine. Although this forward often creates his own opportunities and scores with his head. In fact, the Croatian coach specifically mentioned Kane as someone they need to stop somehow. The Croatian defense is technical and experienced, but the team overall is not as fast as 4-6 years ago. Analysts often mention that their problem is the space behind the high full-backs and the lack of cover against fast counter attacks. It's very likely that England will score today and more than once. And the player with the most goals will most likely be Harry Kane.

Good bet for tonight's game regarding the cards. We have a suitable and experienced referee Turpin. He is quite strict, does not tolerate protests and most importantly, punishes strictly for interrupted fast attacks, of which England will surely have quite a few today. There are expected to be many opportunities from the Croatian side. The Croats, standing in defense for over 90 minutes and being behind due to England's fast attacks, have a great chance today to collect two cards.

According to the lineup, it is clear that the Croats will be sitting in defense, and we all know the strength of the English team. Both ball control and game level are on the English side. They will control the entire match. On the wings, Saka and Gordon will create numerous opportunities. Of course, the English domination here is indisputable, and knowing that there are 5 Croats playing in defense, they will have no choice but to keep kicking the ball out of the goal and into the outfield.

According to the lineup, it is clear that the Croatians will be sitting back in defense, and we all know the strength of the English team.
Both ball control and the level of play are in favor of the English. They will dominate the whole game.
On the wings, Saka and Gordon will make set piece results today.
Of course, the dominance of the English team is undeniable, and knowing that 5 Croatians will be set up defensively, they will have no choice but to kick the ball out of bounds.

A good bet for this evening in terms of entertainment.
We have a suitable and experienced judge Turpin
He is quite strict, does not tolerate protests, and most importantly, strictly punishes for interrupted fast attacks, which England will definitely have many today.
There are many opportunities awaiting from the Croatian side.
Croatians will spend 90 minutes defending and chasing after fast England attacks, giving them a great chance to score goals today.

England is one of the favorites to win the championship. They passed the qualification for the World Cup by winning all the matches. English playing style is counter-pressing, so they should play aggressively from the very first minutes. Both England and Croatia had a lot of corner kicks in the qualifiers. In this match, I believe England will dominate, so they should take many corner kicks, and the Croatians should not just defend for the entire match.

For now, the majority of the first group matches are being played very cautiously. And only a few opportunities are created, with little risk taken. Here, two groups of favorites meet, so it is very likely to see a cautious game, and overall the compositions are quite similar, so it is possible to find value by choosing the Croats, taking into account all circumstances.
