It should be a very interesting Saturday night in the Euro 2024 qualification tournament and one game is going to be between Croatia and Wales. Both teams are one of the favorites in the group D where they are together with Latvia, Armenia and Turkey. In this game, I'm predicting that Croatia is going to win.

Croatia played in the World Cup a few months ago. In the group stage, they had only 1 win and 2 draws but the performance in the playoffs was great as they beat not only Japan but also Brazil. The only bad game was against Argentina in the semifinals (0:3) but they managed to beat Morocco and get 3rd place. If we look at their performance in 2022 overall, they played very well because they had only one more loss which was against Austria in the Nations League. In that tournament, the Croatians managed to get 1st place and secure a place in the finals.

Wales also played in the World Cup. Their performance wasn't so great because they drew 1 game but 2 lost and didn't qualify for the next round. In the Nations League, they drew 1 game and lost 5 in June and September, they were the last team in the group and got relegated. Wales played poorly on the road as they had 4 goals scored, 7 conceded and 0 points.

A very good thing for Croatia is that Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic are still with the team and haven't retired internationally. There are major changes in Wales's roster as Garreth Bale announced his retirement and players like Wayne Hennessey and Ben Davies won't be able to help as well. There's no doubt which team is a favorite here. The Croatians have all the important players, they are a better team, they are playing in front of their fans and Croatia has won the only game against Wales in their country. I'm expecting a very good win from Croatia.

在 2024 年欧洲杯资格赛中，这应该是一个非常有趣的比赛，比赛将在克罗地亚和威尔士之间进行。两支球队都是 D 组的热门球队之一，他们与拉脱维亚、亚美尼亚和土耳其同组。在这场比赛中，我预测克罗地亚会赢。

几个月前，克罗地亚参加了世界杯。小组赛只取得了1胜2平的成绩，但在附加赛中的表现非常出色，不仅击败了日本队，还击败了巴西队。唯一一场糟糕的比赛是在半决赛中对阵阿根廷（0:3），但他们成功击败了摩洛哥并获得了第三名。如果我们从整体上看他们在 2022 年的表现，他们打得非常好，因为他们只输了一场，就是在国联对阵奥地利。在那届比赛中，克罗地亚人以第一名的成绩锁定了决赛席位。

威尔士也参加了世界杯。他们的表现不是很好，因为他们 1 场比赛输了 2 场比赛，没有晋级下一轮。在国家联赛中，他们在6月和9月以1平5负的成绩出线，以小组垫底的成绩出线。威尔士客场表现不佳，打进4球，失7球，积0分。

对克罗地亚来说，一个非常好的事情是卢卡莫德里奇和伊万佩里西奇仍在球队并且没有在国际上退役。随着加雷斯·贝尔宣布退役，威尔士的阵容发生了重大变化，韦恩·亨尼西和本·戴维斯等球员也无法提供帮助。毫无疑问，哪支球队在这里是最受欢迎的。克罗地亚人拥有所有重要的球员，他们是一支更好的球队，他们在球迷面前踢球，克罗地亚队赢得了他们国家唯一一场对阵威尔士的比赛。我期待克罗地亚取得胜利。
