Pagal lineup aiskiai matosi kad Kroatai sedes gynyboje, o Anglu pajeguma mes visi zinome.
Tiek kamuolio kontrole, tiek zaidimo lygis cia viskas Anglu puseje. Visas rungtynes jie ir kontroliuos.
Ant wingu Saka ir Gordon siandien darys kampiniu rezultata.
Aisku Anglu dominavimas cia negincijamas, o zinant kad 5 Kroatai sustatyti ginantis jiems nieko neliks tik musti kamuoli uz vartu ir i outus.

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.

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.

Bruno has just played one of his best seasons in his career for Manchester United. He became the player of the season in the Premier League, led the league in created chances, and scored 20+ assists. What is his role in the national team? He is the main creator. He also likes to attack, but with Ronaldo present, he should use his creativity more. I think Portugal will score 2-3 goals today, and with Bruno as the main creator, it is quite possible that he will make at least 1 assist. The odds are very good.

According to the allowed combinations and formats, it appears that Conho is preparing to build a bus and simply do everything to make sure that their defensive wall is unbreachable. The tactic should be to wait and try to counterattack, but that also means that we can expect the game to be one-sided and Conho's goal to be constantly under pressure. If goals are not scored early on, the Portuguese should dominate the corner kicks.

World Cup, Group K. One of the clearest groups, no need for drastic changes here - first and second places will most likely be shared between the obvious favorites Portugal and Colombia. Congo and Uzbekistan will battle it out for third place in this group. Uzbekistan has already made history with commendable progress and motivation, but they may be overpowered by Colombia's solid performance and well-prepared team, ready for tough challenges.

I do not underestimate the status of the trip, as German support there is not as strong, and the teams seem to be at different levels in my eyes, even after ALBA's recent win. With ALBA weakened and Bayern having enough to gather, they can take the final series. In the previous games, ALBA shot almost 50% from the 3-point line, which ultimately led to their success, while Bayern only managed to shoot 30%. Bayern needs to regain their home advantage, as losing today would put them in a critical situation. In terms of tempo, Bayern is one of the slowest teams in Germany, but defensively they have an edge, with ALBA ranking third in defense.

The importance of the matches increases with each game and today we can expect a more physical and defensive-oriented battle. Although Besiktas has one of the best attacks, one of their leaders got injured, so the team should focus more on defense today, which has been very solid throughout the season. There's not much to say about Fene, Saras emphasizes small details, likes to shut down opponents' creators, nothing should change today.

I do not underestimate the status of the trip, as the support from Germany there is not as strong, and the teams are of different levels in my eyes, even though ALBA won the last match. With ALBA weakening and Bayern having enough gathered to reach the final series. In the past, ALBA made almost 50% of their 3 pointers, which ultimately led to their loss, as Bayern was not able to reach 30%. It is important for Bayern to regain their home advantage, as losing today would make the situation critical.

Americans seem great and after a secure performance against Peru, they are highly underestimated against Australians. In my opinion, the Australian team is even the weakest in the group, and they managed to tie against the Turks, but it's naive to expect that the Australians won't concede goals again. Their weak defense, which allows many opportunities for their opponents, needs to be broken. The Americans play an attacking style of football and have a lot of quality in their offense, which I dare to say they will take advantage of.

In this meeting, I believe it's worth taking a risk with a decent negative. The Qatar national team is very weak and only escaped defeat against the Swiss due to a stroke of luck. Their offense is also very weak, and facing a strong home team like Canada, they will need a win to continue their fight, and they must win by a solid margin. With their energy and skill, Canada surpasses the Qatar team, so they should take advantage of that to secure a solid win.

Before the opportunity against Qatar was wasted, the Swiss team created even over 3 goals according to xG statistics. Bosnia is not a super team, which does not seem great in defense, and the Swiss need to win. After poor performances in terms of finishing, we should expect a different result from the Swiss in these matches, and lately in the championship, the goals have been flowing, so I hope for the same from the Swiss.

The South African team looked super bad and played poorly in the match against Mexico, while the Czech team must win after losing to the Korean team in order to continue their fight in the World Cup. The African team looked very poor in friendly matches and will also be missing two players due to red cards, and their mistakes against Mexico were childish. The Czech team is not bad, as they were in the lead against the Koreans and played quite well. Peru also needs some help, so we can expect at least a few goals from the Czech Republic team.

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.

Portugal is a very capable national team and is named among the teams that could potentially win the championship. I fully agree. They have everything to achieve that. Especially their midfield looks very solid: Bruno, Vitinha and Neves should dominate and control the game today, increasing their chances and scoring, especially with a player like Ronaldo up front. This may be the end of his career, but he is still dangerous. One downside for Portugal is that their important defender will not play. But Portugal has a deep bench. The main strength of the Conho team is their physicality and counter attacks. However, their opponent today is too serious for them to fully exploit their advantages. Typically, favorites play cautiously in the first game, but it would be a surprise if Portugal had problems against Conho today.

Maria has a high coefficient, showing good results on the grass. In this season, she has played 7 matches and won 5. Yastremska does not excel in her performance on the grass. This season, she only played a couple of times and won once against Dudeney. Her opponent was much weaker than Maria and Yastremska had a lot of trouble facing her. The head-to-head score is 1:0 in favor of Maria. They played on a quick surface and Maria crushed Yastremska 6:0 6:4. It was all about Maria here.

I believe that these games will lead to goals, as the total of stronger teams has a lot of value. Looking at Panama's results, their defense has a lot of problems and here they will face the attacking line of Ghana with Semenyo and Williams who will tear apart the flanks.

A very favorable opponent, Ghana, aimed to stop the good game of the forwards. Semenyo had a fantastic season, both at the beginning for Bournemouth and throughout for City, which is why he was unanimously selected for the Premier League's team of the season. A big advantage on Semenyo's side is that he creates more opportunities to score than his teammate for Peru. The results against Panama show that their defense is far from impenetrable, and there should be goals here.

Portugal is improving, although not by large margins, but they rarely play against African teams. In friendly matches they played against Nigeria, both teams scored 30 points each. African teams are fast and physical, but often make mistakes. Group K is very solid, so it is crucial for both teams to avoid dangerous attacks. Star players often receive favorable whistles due to their status.
