Predictions for Portugal vs Croatia
For the game Portugal vs Croatia, we predict Portugal to win 2-1, and this is why. Portugal have a superior H2H record against Croatia, having won five of the eight meetings. In the last Euro 2024, Portugal reached the quarterfinals while Croatia couldn’t advance from the group stage.
Prediction: Portugal to Win – 1.62

Prediction: Over 2 Goals – 1.44
Match Preview for Portugal vs Croatia
For the first time since winning it in 2018/19, Roberto Martínez will be aiming to lead Portugal past the group stage of this competition. Given that they have never lost a competitive head-to-head (W4), with two wins occurring in the UNL, including a resounding 4-1 home victory, the home crowd should be filled with confidence.
Croatia lost to Spain on penalties in the 2022/23 UNL final, but they have had mixed results in this competition. That applies especially when they do not have home comforts, as after losing their first five away matches in this tournament, they have won the next four, so they should challenge here.
Predicted Starting Lineups for Portugal vs Croatia
Portugal: Sa; Cancelo, Dias, Mendes, Silva, Palhinha, Vitinha, Neves, Jota, Leao, Conceicao;
Croatia: Livaković; Vida, Sosa, Erlić, Juranović, Perišić, Kovačić, Majer, Baturina, Kramarić, Petković;
